She became well-known for her cover illustrations for ''The Hobbit'' and ''The Lord of the Rings'', and for her poster map with inset illustrations, ''A Map of Middle-earth''. She illustrated all seven volumes of C. S. Lewis's ''Chronicles of Narnia'', from the first book, ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe''. Gaining a reputation as the "Narnia artist", she illustratred spinoffs like Brian Sibley's ''The Land of Narnia''. In addition to work for other authors, including illustrating Roger Lancelyn Green's ''The Tales of Troy'' and Iona and Peter Opie's books of nursery rhymes, Baynes created some 600 illustrations for Grant Uden's ''A Dictionary of Chivalry'', for which she won the Kate Greenaway Medal. Late in her life she began to write and illustrate her own books, with animal or Biblical themes. Provided by Wikipedia
