Narnian Adventure
“Then in the name of Aslan,” said Queen Susan, “if ye will all have it so, let us go on and take the adventure that shall fall to us.”
-The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, chapter 17
“And then, let us descend into the city and take the adventure that is sent us.”
-The Silver Chair, chapter 13
“Well,” said the King at last, “we must go on and take the adventure that comes to us.”
-The Last Battle, chapter 2
Variations of this phrase appear three times in the Chronicles of Narnia books, articulating a sentiment woven through the entire series. This pattern surrounds C.S. Lewis’ words with motifs that readers of the books will recognize, stitched in a whimsical doodling style with a combination of cross-stitches and back-stitches. DMC thread colour recommendations are included, but there’s a good deal of room for substitutions if you prefer a brighter lamp or a darker lion.
