I came across these covers on a search today. They’re from Estonia, and different from most covers I’ve seen. The one above is The Magician’s Nephew, but in Estonian, it translates literally as “The Miracle Worker’s Son.” It’s one of the very few covers I’ve seen that depicts Jadis in stasis in the Hall of …
As I said I’m pretty excited about this book receiving an adaptation. I am especially curious about how Greta Gerwig will film one of its most spectacular yet problematic aspects: how Aslan creates the world of Narnia with his song.

I think it’s worth examining. First, the cover design of this edition of The Chronicles (I’m assuming it was for the whole series not just the four …
Now we come to my favorite part of the Summer of Narnia — posting endless depictions of my favorite character, Queen Jadis, late of Charn. (She’s the same person as the White Witch, but Queen of Charn is her first incarnation, so to speak.) There have been many stage productions of The Magician’s Nephew over …
