As I was reading The Voyage of the Dawn Treader to my daughter last night, I noticed something curious in one of the illustrations. With apologies to the brilliant Pauline Baynes, can you spot the oddity? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
A Curious Image
Isn’t Narnia flat? What is Caspian doing with a ROUND globe? It doesn’t look like earth.
That’s really odd. At first I was studying the globe to work out if it looked like Narnia or Earth. Took me longer to realise that it shouldn’t be a globe at all! I wonder if it’s there as a mythical object. Like when we have model gryphons or unicorns, they have models of mythical round worlds.
That is hilarious and I don’t think I ever noticed it before!
