C.S. Lewis. (Character of Mr. Tumnus in) The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. Novel. 1950: Geoffery Bles.

Also portrayed in the 2005 film of the same name.

According to Bruce Edwards, C.S. Lewis is quoted as saying "All my seven Narnian books…began with seeing pictures in my head. At first they were not a story, just pictures. [They]…began with a picture of a Faun carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood. This picture had been I my mind since I was about sixteen. Then one day, when I was about forty, I said to myself: ‘Let’s try to make a story about it."
