    This paper examines the absence of a detailed index in commercial editions of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2021) and proposes a structured index covering characters, themes (sacrifice, betrayal, forgiveness), places (Narnia, Lantern Waste, Beaversdam), and symbolic objects (Turkish Delight, the Stone Table). The index is keyed to page numbers from the 2021 HarperCollins paperback (ISBN: 978-0064409421).

    The Natives of Narnia:

    This index reveals patterns invisible to a casual reader: for example, “forgiveness” appears only after Aslan’s resurrection, while “betrayal” clusters around Edmund’s journey to the Witch. A proper index transforms a children’s novel into a research text.

    The 2021 HarperCollins edition includes 15 full-page color illustrations by Pauline Baynes (restored from original artwork). Plate locations:

    | Plate | Scene | Chapter | Page approx. | |-------|-------|---------|---------------| | 1 | Lucy in the wardrobe | 1 | 6 | | 2 | Mr. Tumnus and Lucy | 2 | 18 | | 3 | Edmund meets the White Witch | 4 | 40 | | 4 | Beaver family dinner | 7 | 80 | | 5 | Arrival of Father Christmas | 10 | 116 | | 6 | Aslan and the Stone Table | 12 | 144 | | 7 | The Witch’s transformation of victims | 13 | 154 | | 8 | The stone animals restored | 16 | 192 | | 9 | Coronation at Cair Paravel | 17 | 206 |

    (Remaining plates are smaller vignettes and chapter-head decorations.) Allegory (Christian), 10, 150, 170–172

    A secondary reason for the "2021" search spike was the Leeds Playhouse and West End revival of the theatrical adaptation. This production ran in London in late 2021. Here is the "index" of that production:

  • Scene Index (Act I): The Wardrobe / Mr. Tumnus’s Cave / The Witch’s Castle
  • Scene Index (Act II): The Stone Table / The Battle / Coronation

    • This 2021 version was notable for its diversity and minimalist set design, which received rave reviews from The Guardian.
