Let’s return to Asian publishing for some more unusual editions of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The left one is from 1969 and published in Hong Kong through a Christian publication company. Clearly the cover artist did not read the book and created a Halloween scenario — with Halloween colors — based on …
