Brian Sibley, dramatist of BBC radio dramatisations of The Chronicles of Narnia, has launched his official web site with background information of his various projects past and present.
From his site:
I wrote The Land of Narnia with wonderful new colour pictures by the book’s original illustrator, Pauline Baynes. This book was subsequently transmogrified (not entirely happily) into The Treasury of Narnia, written with Alison Sage.
A lifetime ago (or so it seems) I wrote a teleplay that would later become (with a different screenwriter) the TV and stage play and film known as Shadowlands. Notwithstanding this seeming failure, my ‘tie-in’ book (based on my original version of the story of C S Lewis and his love for Joy Davidman), has remained in print – at least in Japan, Germany and the USA, where it goes under the title C S Lewis Through the Shadowlands: The Story of His Life with Joy Davidman.
Alongside writing about Lewis (The Wisdom of CS Lewis and an introduction to Colin Duriez’s new book A Field Guide to Narnia), I have also written about Lewis’ friend, and fellow fantasy-writer, J R R Tolkien. Three books with illustrator John Howe, later one of the conceptual artists on the film trilogy, have celebrated the maps created by Tolkien for The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.
