I was obsessed with that poem when I was a kid.

“Make your choice, adventurous Stranger,
Strike the bell and bide the danger,
Or wonder, till it drives you mad,
What would have followed if you had.”

Her being a blonde in the movies shocked me, because I'd grown up with the book illustrations. In my mind she was always super-tall with black hair and extremely pale skin.

Yeah, my book also has the illustrations but I never took them really seriously because... they take on a bit of a "creative liberty" sometimes? Like Lucy is described (more than once) as having golden locks but her illustrations despict her with black hair. xD
That also happens with Peter, now that I searched for it.
And since Jadi's appearance is never described more than "super tall, pale as heck, extremely beautiful" I still pictured her as a blonde in my mind while reading.

My image of Lucy is shaped by the BBC TV series where the actress had dark hair. I think my personal copy of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe had the cast on the cover, come to think of it.
