Pauline Baynes

Baynes was the illustrator for the original Narnia editions (her artwork was maintained until the early 80s when, typically, some moron decided they were too dated and new ones were needed to appeal to a younger generation of Lewis fans.)

These illustrations still evoke warm memories of snuggling up in bed reading about Shasta and Prince Caspian and Diggory and Eustace. If you can, buy the books in any edition from the 1970s or 80s-they were, and still are, magical.
