Map of the Playground
The Playground and the lands around it, from the front of the book.

Every chapter of Defense Against the Enemy's Devices opens with a full-page illustration, 34 in all. Each one had to match the text exactly. Here are a few. (They're shown here in colour; the book prints them in black and white.)

The first thing Tommy sees: the King, smiling down from a rope bridge high above the forest path.
Clarence reins in Destrier, his warhorse, in the lesson on the armor of God.
The whole class on the Giant's Hammock, high in the trees.
"Come here, boy."
The Grandfather Tortoise, and the best slide in the Playground.

The paperback comes out November 11.
