über die Autoren
Clive Staples Lewis
Clive Staples Lewis wurde 1898 in Belfast geboren und war schon als Kind von den Märchen, Mythen und Legenden des Landes fasziniert. Viele Jahre später, während seiner Zeit als Professor an der Universität Cambridge, begann er seine Ideen aufzuschreiben. So entstanden nach und nach die sieben Chroniken von Narnia, für die er mit dem begehrten Carnegie Award ausgezeichnet wurde.
Pauline Baynes
Pauline Baynes war eine britische Illustratorin, die für ihre Arbeit an C.S. Lewis' Chroniken von Narnia bekannt war. J.R.R. Tolkien bewunderte ihre Arbeit so sehr, dass er sie bat, zuerst sein Werk Farmer Giles of Ham und dann The Adventures of Tom Bombadil zu illustrieren. Ihre Arbeit erstreckte sich über 60 Jahre, und 1968 gewann sie die Kate Greenaway Medal. Im Jahr 1999 zeichnete sie eine Karte des Kleinen Königreichs für die Jubiläumsausgabe zum 50-jährigen Bestehen von „Farmer Giles of Ham“.
