Book Appearances: The Last Battle
Overview: Puzzle’s lion skin is the false costume Shift uses to make the donkey Puzzle appear to be Aslan.
In The Last Battle
Few objects in the series are uglier than Puzzle’s lion skin. Shift uses it to turn love for Aslan into a fraud that frightened Narnians can see with their own eyes.
That is what gives the skin its force in The Last Battle. Lewis uses it to show how quickly holy language and familiar symbols can be twisted when a manipulator gets hold of them.
