C S lewis - The last Battle

[BertiWooster]

Just thinking back to the books that I read , when I was a kid

Was anyone as frightened as I was when looking at the illustration of the ' beast ' in the above book ?

What was it's name ? - i've forgotten

[Lil O'lady]

Is it the illustration of Tash? Horrible hooked claws raised, rather tlike a tatty eagle on human -ish legs?

Lil O'lady

That's him

Scared me rotten

[Lil O'lady]

It looks like a child's nightmare about ghosts and monsters all rolled into one - especially the claws raised up to 'get you'. It's surprising because all the other illustrations are quite sweet.
