World Book Day: From Aslan to Paddington – the sculptures shaping children’s stories

CS Lewis Square, located in east Belfast, is a public space that commemorates Belfast-born author, CS Lewis.

It is home to seven sculptures inspired by The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe – the first of the seven novels in The Chronicles of Narnia.

Much of the novel is set in Narnia, as the Pevensie children discover the land of talking animals and mythical creatures, ruled by the evil White Witch.

Visitors to CS Lewis Square can see Mr Tumnus, Maugrim, the White Witch, Mr and Mrs Beaver, the Stone Table, the robin and overlooking them all, Aslan.

The space is open to the public 24 hours a day.
