Nice – thanks for sharing, Anfinwen! I'll have to get a copy for my kids – we're deep into reading Narnia out-loud before bed, so this will be a great companion piece.

The Amazon reviews include some inside previews of the illustrations within the book. I think I spot a box of Turkish Delight on this illustration of C.S. Lewis!

Thanks for sharing this, @Anfinwen. I knew somebody else had mentioned it recently and I've just found the thread: https://community.narniaweb.com/index.php/community/talk-about-narnia/picture-book-about-pauline-baynes/ (Maybe a moderator could merge these, if that's how these forums work?)

It does look like a lovely and wonderful book and I'd buy it at once, but I've just checked and while it's listed on Amazon UK at a reasonable price and with free delivery, it's giving me an estimated delivery date range of 19 August - 21 November 2025. Yes, seriously.   I suspect the deal is that they wait until they have enough orders from the UK to be sure of shipping them together to allow for the free delivery, so it takes however long that takes!! (The cold comfort being that it would probably take even longer than that if I happened to be back in Australia.  )

Anyway, I will keep an eye out for it and see if I can find a more reliable supplier over here, or else I suppose all I can do is wait for however long it takes... But I do love the look of it and I'm glad to see a modern writer / illustrator has done such a lovely tribute to a truly special artist who deserves more recognition.

I also reckon a review by the NarniaWeb news team would be a great idea!  

@courtenay Thanks for linking to the original thread! I didn't realize there was one. If the mods want to merge them, that would be great. Consider this the "Hey, it's available now" post, lol.
