Pauline Diana Baynes (9 September 1922 – 1 August 2008) was an English illustrator, author and commercial artist.
She contributed drawings and paintings to more than two hundred books, mostly in the children's genre.
She was the first illustrator of some of J.
R.
R.
Tolkien's minor works and of C.

Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. "The hallmarks of her work were a talent for lively, imaginative designs; the ability to create a sense of energy and animation; a confident fluidity of line; a bold use of vibrant, gem-like colours and the subtle employment of negative space".
