I have been collecting Puffin paperbacks that have either cover-art, illustrations or both by Pauline Baynes.
Puffin books are numbered, so I know up to 300 who the illustrators were for the books, but after that not sure, the only later book that I have, after #300 is Watership Down.
If anyone knows of any other Puffin books that Pauline Baynes was involved with, please post the titles.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien (cover)
The Puffin Book of Nursery Rhymes by Iona and Peter Opie (cover and illustrations)
The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald (cover)
The Princess and Curdie by George MacDonald (cover)
Borrobil by William Croft Dickinson (cover)
The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis (cover and illustrations)
The Horse and his Boy by C.S. Lewis (cover and illustrations)
Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis (cover and illustrations)
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis (cover and illustrations)
The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis (cover and illustrations)
The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis (cover and illustrations)
The Magicians Nephew by C.S. Lewis (cover and illustrations)
Here's a list of Puffin paperbacks with Baynes covers and/or interior art, arranged chronologically and, within each year, alphabetically by author and title. The number in square brackets at the end of the line refers to the Hammond-Scull bibliography of Pauline's publications, which we've been writing for years but have often been sidetracked with Tolkien work. There's only one title in this list (Peter Dickinson, 1984) for which Pauline did interior art (as one of many artists) but not the cover (which is by Quentin Blake). Many of her Puffin titles have only Baynes covers, not interior art; some have both.

Some of these have variations. For example, the Watership Down cover art is cropped one way on the original paperback, another on the Kestrel hardback, and severely in later Puffin printings. The Ransome title, 1985, was in a larger format prior to it becoming a "Puffin Classic". Black Beauty also appeared in 1988 under the St Michael imprint, with a different, new Baynes illustration on the cover (she also did the interior art), the whole produced by Puffin Books for Marks & Spencer and sold in a special package with an audiobook of the novel on cassette [A163b]. Then there are Puffin collection slipcases with wraparound Baynes art: The Complete Chronicles of Narnia had a pink box (1965, A83a) and a green box (1974, A83b), and there's also The Borrowers Stories (1980, A146). Pauline also had commissions for interior art in Puffin hardbacks, such as The Puffin Annual Number 2 (1975, A122), The Puffin Treasury of Children's Stories (1996, A202), and The Puffin Treasury of Classics (1997, A203), and her work appeared in the Puffin Post magazine.
