Lewis and Inklings-related books, and the entire original "Brown Collection" remains at Taylor University. Over the years, many other books were added to this original collection, and they were stamped "Brown Collection", including this book. This does not necessarily indicate previous ownership by Dr. Edwin W. Brown, but simply means that it was owned by Taylor University and was related to the "Brown Collection". ‘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) 88pp.<br><br>CONDITION: Ex-Library.
