More White Witches on Parade

Design for a book cover with the kids and the witch, who, with her golden halo, looks like an evil saint. I like how the artist caught aspects of the kids’ personalities here and gave them the correct hair colors that were in the book. An angry witch who appears to screaming  “Hand over that …

White Witches on Parade

Here’s a number of interesting White Witches that I found over the course of a year. The above one is of Jadis in her… chariot! She kept it stored in her garage in case the snow melted. In the Walden movie it was pulled by polar bears. Another unusual one is this fiber arts White …

Maugrim on Stage, Part 2

In part two of this series I’m going to concentrate on more… aspirational Maugrims. For example, who says Maugrim has to be male? None of these were from a Narnia production, as far as I know, but I’m including them to show the variation when costuming a wolf character. Now, imagine the impact on stage …

Maugrim Mural

From the city of Belfast, C. S. Lewis’s birthplace. That’s Aslan in the distance. I’m guessing Maugrim is the black wolf.

Worldbuilding Wednesday 07/23/25: Names of the Seven Isles (Narnia LXVIII)

In the Chronicles the island group known as the Seven Isles did not receive much worldbuilding. Two of them were named: Brenn and Muil, and there was a city, Redhaven. That’s as much as we know. Some wikis say they under Narnia’s dominion the same way the Lone Islands were, but there’s no evidence from …

Maugrim on Stage, Part 1

Although Maugrim — or Fenris Ulf, depending on your edition — is only a minor character in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe he takes greater importance in stage adaptations. In the play he serves as the White Witch’s right hand man and is the villain of the first major conflict, when he chases …
