Alas, I thought this Summer of Narnia was over. But then I saw this production still from the Netflix The Magician’s Nephew which features Queen Jadis running through the palace of Charn with Digory and Polly. It’s very different from how I imagined Charn — my view is more titanic and epic, with an ancient …
As it’s the Autumn Equinox, I’m sad to say it’s the end of another Summer of Narnia. So here’s another collection of pics showing another ending, the death of one Jadis, also known as the White Witch and the so-called Queen of Narnia. Dead but not dismembered. So pretty but so evil!

By now I’ve posted hundreds of pictures of Narnia the world, but little of that world’s creator, C. S. Lewis (Jack, as he named himself.) I’m going to remedy that.

I don’t recall having seen them anywhere before in all the years I’ve been doing the Summer of Narnia. It’s sophisticated design, yet simple, in keeping with the Japanese aesthetic. I think …
Meanwhile, in Sweden:
Last in this series of posts, some VHS and DVD covers of the animated special. These have not been consistent at all over the years. This VHS release was the first, released October 13th, 1993 in the U.S. No idea why it took that long. Copyrights maybe. Though not great design, the cardboard slipcover combines …
