He has brought his lyrical style of artwork to many books and feels a particular affinity for Puddleglum the Marsh-wiggle: \"When I found out C.S. Lewis based him on his gardener, it all made sense to me.\" Tudor's artwork brings the landscape and characters of Narnia gloriously to life.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLewis, C.
