Another Narnia Entry

[crantz]

Not book-accurate, but fairly epic Jadis

"Whew!" said Polly, letting out a long breath of relief. "And now I must get home. It's frightfully late. I shall catch it."


-The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis

This is the best bit in the entire Narnia series, I think.

Because she and Digory (mostly Digory) have just brought Jadis, the Witch, the Queen, wtvr, who killed her entire world just to avoid losing, into their world. She's just swept out of the room planning to take over everything by the end of the year.

So anyway, time for Polly to get home to mom because she's had a busy day.

Polly is a badass. As well as that, snacky has a fun theory on what happens to Polly after The Magician's Nephew:

"In my headcanon, Polly grows up to be a painter. And after the tree from the Narnia apple that Digory planted blows down, he gives her some of the wood (while using the rest to build the wardrobe). And she uses the wood for frames for her paintings, and one of them is the painting of the Dawn Treader (although Polly doesn't realize she's painting the DT, just a "very Narnian ship") that eventually ends up at the Scrubb's house. That's the reason why Eustace and Edmund and Lucy can get into Narnia through the painting.

Also, there's other paintings she's done that she's used that wood for frames. So there may be other ways to Narnia, in stories we don't know."

Simple, beautiful version of the Wood.

Adorable series of paintings from the book.

An impressive Jadis in pencil.

It's a lot of fun. My final post on this book is going up soon too. I gotta get a picture of Jadis' Wild Ride and the Squirrel Attack.
