RETURN TO NARNIA

Whatever the truth about The Narnia Code, the stories will lose nothing of their appeal and - like the four Pevensie children in the books - we will always want to go back there.

I wrote recently about artist Andrew Skilleter and his dramatic interpretations of C S Lewis' seven 'Chronicles of Narnia' originally made for the audio cassettes cases of my BBC adaptations and which are currently being exhibited as part of The Wonder of Illustration at the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum, The King's House, Wiltshire, until Saturday 4 July.

If you enjoyed Andrew's visualisations of Aslan's world, you may care to visit his new website where he gives 'The Artist's Perspective' on the project and where he is offering for sale a beautifully produced limited edition of Fine Art Lifetime Giclee Prints of each of the original artworks.

Remember (to paraphrase Aslan):"Once a friend of Narnia, always a friend of Narnia!"
