*sigh* No. Actually, it is the little girl who is saying "Guard Ian, angel." ---you can see her gesturing toward the angel with her whistle as she gives her instructions. The little girl is running things. She is clearly smart enough to take care of herself. However, she is very busy and Ian is so helpless, though cute, that she needs the help of the angel to guard him from all the trouble he is going to get into.

No, the child on the left is Ian, a little boy. This is a sort of stylized picture in which a girl would always be wearing a dress, an angel would always have wings, and a little boy would always have short hair and a brown jacket. (I admit that the lavender pullover part of a sweater set that he is wearing is slightly strange.) He is holding a dandelion to show he has been playing boys' games out in vacant lots.

And why is the angel's tie magically tying (or untying) itself?
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

I read, or was told, or watched on television that all the Angels ever mentioned in the Bible are men, but I can't remember if I heard it in class, watched it on television (back when I had one) or read it...Cynth wrote:No, the child on the left is Ian, a little boy.
