Illustrated (books and things) – 1/∞ – when I first discovered Narnia
I’m currently rereading the entire series and feeling very nostalgic. Pauline Baynes was one of my first art influences; I’m pretty sure I spent hours just looking at her illustrations instead of reading, whoops.
Day 4. The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis
Just one today, as the horse was a little time-consuming. This book has been with me since I was maybe four or five, and you can see how creased (and how loved!) it is. I really grew up with Narnia, and The Magician’s Nephew counts as a huge favourite of mine in the series. I’m hoping I can start re-reading this next week and follow it up with either the next book or The Lord Of The Rings.
There are lands within lands. Worlds within worlds. Worlds between worlds. Worlds where life is much different than the one you know. Lands often considered myth and fantasy but are as real as the world around you. Sometimes, the barriers between these worlds weakens enough to let travelers cross through.
