`Elegantly painted pictures by the original illustrator of the Chronicles of Narnia are the hallmark of this book.Excerpts from the original text accompany each illustration. A descriptive cast of characters, a synthesis of each of the chronicles, Lewis' Outline of Narnian History and an index of illustrations are included. A must for admirers of the series, a valuable resource for teachers and librarians, and a motivator for those who have not ventured into Narnia.'—CR. 1995 "Pick of the Lists" (ABA)
