Funnily enough, I bought TMN a couple of months ago - it's sitting by my bed on
the "read next" pile.
I recently read an interview with Phillip Pullman, in which he pretty
effectively vented his spleen on the Narnia cycle - particularily the Last
Battle's ending - he has a point, but I love them.
Moving to o.t.
BTW IIRC I think I've figured out why you never got to re-read the others :(

Tom,
This is interesting... I liked the earlier tree-farm.
Try a lower perspective, looking up at the figure and the lampost.
Make the trees more dense and taller, this will accentuate the minisculeness
of man and the expanse of the new world Lucy has just wandered into.
Leave a couple of openings through the trees so that you can see your
excellent mountains off in the distance. Your wardrobe can be down one of
those venues... perhaps incorporate the view of the room Lucy left to come
here, completing the image and story-line.
Regards,
Robert J Becraft

Actually, it should be a wardrobe.
Admitedly, I'm not English, but it's my impression that a wardrobe is a
sort of a closet which isn't built into a house, while a cupboard is a
place to put your cups, which is attatched to the wall.

Very well done, Tom. Your image goes better.
Only three comments.
1.- More trees and higher.
2.- Some stars.
3.- Don't leave the story recreation apart you from your artistic goal. I
think the girl, the cupboard and the lamppost are OK in their actual
position.
Keep up the good work!
Bye

I like that spoiler function:-) But don't think I've ever seen it used
before.

Hmm, sort of..
A cupboard is fairly generic, but a wardrobe is a specific instance of cupboard
used for clothes. A dresser, which is the thing you describe for holding cups,
can also be referred to as a cupboard, but only if it's the type with doors
(either in front of the cups or as in a Welsh dresser).
From encarta:
Wardrobe: a large movable or built-in cupboard with rails, shelves, hooks, etc.,
for storing clothes.
Cupboard: a recess or piece of furniture with a door and (usu.) shelves, in
which things are stored.
Dresser: 1 a kitchen sideboard with shelves above for displaying plates etc. 2
US a dressing-table or chest of drawers.

English! Put dresses in a cupboard and cups in a dresser.
