The Complete Chronicles of Narnia

"And illustrated throughout! It’s a large hardback, with two columns of text to a page. Colour illustrations throughout, and a ribbon for keeping your place – I am a huge sucker for a ribbon. Baynes knew C. S. Lewis personally – actually, she met Tolkien first, who loved her work and introduced her. She did the original line illustrations for the books, which she has water-coloured here. If you grew up with the black-and-white editions, it’s a surreal stepping-into-Oz moment to see them in full colour."
