Step into Narnia: A Journey Through The Lion, the… de E. J. Kirk
This is a picture book that illustrates and gives brief information about characters and places in the Chronicles of Narnia series.
I picked up a very similar looking book to this a while back, which was simply awful - really, all it was was just a bunch of generic still shots from the Disney movie with some limited and uninteresting text.
This is NOT that same book!
In fact I only picked this one up by accident at the same bookstore a few weeks later just to remind myself of how disappointed I was with it. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this was a totally different presentation - by far!
True, there are approximately 30 colour stills taken from the Disney movie, and strikingly none at all from the landmark 1988-89 BBC television series - one would have to assume because one of the Disney film's producers was also the editorial consultant on this book; but, that is out of more than 100 illustrations and photos in total, made up largely from private photos of the Lewis family from around the 1900s onwards, Book covers of first editions; most interestingly - photos of various landmarks and views which inspired Lewis to write about Narnia, some maps and charts, dozens of vintage hand drawn illustrations and even a two page time-line comparing Earth time with Narnia time (from when Aslan sung Narnia into existence through to the Last Battle between the Calormene and the Narnians and where Aslan ushers in the end of Narnia).
This book is exactly what I was looking for and I have to say that, as a fan of the books since the age of six, I consider this to be a worthy addition to my library.
A guide to the titles on the contents page are:
Entering the Wardrobe
The Tale-teller's Secrets
The Great Tale
The Magic Lands of Narnia
Getting There...and Back
Narnia's Royal Visitors
The People and Creatures of Narnia
The Story Continues … (mais)
