We continue our journey into Narnia, and today meet the character who the first child into Narnia (Lucy Pevensie) met after entering Narnia through the back of the wardrobe. He was a male Faun, a former servant of the White Witch, and later, a high official in Narnia during the Golden Age.
Tumnus was described as being just a little taller than Lucy. Like any Faun, he had the legs of a goat, which were covered with curly, glossy black hair, and he had a tail. His upper body was that of a man, with reddish skin.
Tumnus had never seen a human when he first met Lucy, and after being informed by her that she was in fact one, he invited her to his home for tea.
It will be interesting to see how the new planting around the figures develops, since it is usually plays an important part in the design of the scene.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated. Katharine was thrilled by your responses to her photo.
It would be interesting to know more about the creation of these figures. I do know that the gardeners are very involved in deciding what the latest theme should be. These artworks were only recently put on display - last time I was in the Homestead Park, the only sign of change was that the flower beds had been cleared ready for new planting.

Mr Tumnus was one of the good guys in the story!
