Worlds within worlds within worlds? Only if one of those characters in the egg is ALSO holding an egg depicting a scene in which a character is holding an egg which is ALSO depicting a….. you get the idea.
Also that guy on the monster is totally making the “See my sweet new ride, baby? Yeahhh, I know you wanna go with me to the Medieval Times prom!” body-expression.
@Jerk of All Trades – despite the lack of realistic proportions on the creature lizard-centerpedy thingy, looks like the dark stranger’s rocking a lady-mantlepiece there. (And I cheated by looking at the book blurb.)

– You may be right. For some reason I interpreted it as the person’s tunic wrinkling weirdly on account of the arm-raising. On second look though, it seems rather tight everywhere else, so it probably is a bust.
(Unless the artist is just terrible all around)
On looking at the way the lizard-centipede is looking up, it’s like it’s talking to the man with the implausible scabbard and saying “What? What’s wrong with my hat? Dude everyone is wearing grey hooded person hats in Xjjkrshkt this year.”

It is! Very cute indeed. And reminds me of the Pokémon Lapras, but a lot more adorable.
Interesting that the book’s tagline overlaps the artist’s signature…

I presume that is a 3G Panorama Egg, which allows you to make video calls to worlds within worlds…

What’s up with the woman levitating behind the lizard thing with the stick legs?

And that’s why we have never been able to suss out Nessie’s location within the loch.

Where do purple centipede dragons keep their genitals? Because that one is looking far too pleased with itself.

Strike a light, now we know what The Unreasoning Mask was looking at!
We also know why the reptipede is bedazzled…

Theirs was a peaceful planet of yoga instructors until the space basilisks began turning them all to stone. Now only Prince Caspian can save them!
