"The Horse and His Boy" Interior Art

Black and white chapter book illustration from The Horse and his Boy from the Chronicles of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis. The image shows 2 horses, Bree and Hwin standing behind 2 children, Shasta and Arvis. The children look angry and annoyed with each other, as if they have just had an argument. The horses are laughing and talking together. In the background are silhouettes of trees and the night sky with stars and moon.

“I don’t know about trouble,” said Shasta. “You can clear off as soon as you like. We shan’t keep you.”

“No, you shan’t,” said the girl.

“What quarrelsome creatures these humans are,” said Bree to the mare. “They’re as bad as mules.”

Black and white interior illustration for The Horse and His Boy from the Chronicle of Narnia series by C. S. Lewis. The image shows a hill in the foreground on the left with the silhouettes of 2 horses with bundles on their backs, being led by 2 children. On the right side of the image is a city on a hill, with a skyline with domed towers like a city in the Middle East. The bottom of the whole image is obscured by white mist.

At first Shasta could see nothing in the valley below him but a sea of mist with a few domes and pinnacles rising from it; but as the light increased and the mist cleared away he saw more and more. A broad river divided itself into two streams and on the lsland between them stood the city of Tashbaan, one of the wonders of the world.
