Recently, I shared a Lord of the Rings subway map, & I had a bunch of people asking me to do a Narnia version. Well...here you go!
It's covers all 7 books, so it's a lot more complicated the the LoTR ones. And if you like it, it's available to buy on my Etsy store:

I totally support the National Year Of Reading initiative. We desperately need a culture of reading for pleasure to replace the culture of constant testing in schools, backed by proper government funding. And we need STORYTIME to be part of the school day, every day! #literacy

It was the novelist Thomas Hardy who introduced his younger brother Oliver to Stan Laurel after seeing the diminutive performer at the Bristol Hippodrome. “I saw them standing together in my minds eye, so mismatched in size, and yet more perfectly attuned than any characters I had ever written.”

Miffy turns 70 today! 🎉 Did you know she was born from a bedtime story in 1955?
One evening, Dick Bruna told his son a story about a little white rabbit hopping through the garden. That tale sparked the first sketch of nijntje and a beloved icon was born!

Wednesdays were invented in 1756 by a Yorkshire vicar Rev. George Arbuthnott-Grimes in order to expand the week and solve the whole "On the seventh day He rested," conundrum. Being an amateur antiquarian, Arbuthnott-Grimes hoped that the 'Odin's Day' idea would throw everyone off the scent.
