It ended sooner than I wanted. However there is lots of leftover material for next year’s three-month extravaganza! I’ll close with this delicious AI-generated version of The White Witch’s bento box. Made of polished and ornamented silver, it contains plenty of raw fish (tuna and salmon filets), hardboiled eggs, roe, oysters, pickled garlic, and nuts …
Many first edition Narnia books published in other countries had unique, enchanting artwork that was never repeated for further printings. These covers for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (shortened to The Lion and the White Witch) and Prince Caspian have a light, airy, featherweight feel that seems more appropriate for a book of …
That’s Dutch for “White Witch.” The theater production below was staged in the Netherlands. Obviously, it was a childrens theater project, going by the youth of the extras who are playing the reindeer and dwarves. Interestingly the witch has black hair as in Pauline Baynes’ depictions. And here’s yet another Scandinavian version of The Lion, …
That’s Norwegian for “White Witch.” And she’s the showstopper character in this very oddly staged Norwegian version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, even though she’s not exactly white.

This wasn’t labeled as Narnian art, but it so clearly is! Somehow Tash has made it into our world but taken a tumble, now he’s clogging up the commuter rail system. I hope he’s dead and not just stunned.
If you’re a scholar of The Chronicles of Narnia, you’ll know that the White Witch’s Captain of the Secret Police, a wolf named Maugrim, received a name change when The Lion, the Witch, and Wardrobe was published in the U.S. in 1950. That change was to Fenris Ulf, a name familiar to those who read …
The Narnian calendar system was never elaborated on by C. S. Lewis. We do know there’s a Christmas, a Midwinter snowball dance, and Summer Bacchanals, which, though are not mentioned as taking place on the summer solstice, are similar enough to Beltane that they likely might. There’s also the name of one month — Greenroof …
