The C.S. Lewis Festival, on Thursday, Oct 14, the Petoskey Film Theater in cooperation with the C.S. Lewis Festival, will be showing the documentary film “Quest for Meaning: Myth, Imagination & Faith in the works of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.” At 7:30 pm at the Petoskey District Library Carnegie Bldg. This is a one-hour sequel to the public television special “The Magic Never Ends.”
David Crouse, executive producer and Petoskey resident, will offer this sneak preview before national airing in 2011 and will be at the showing to answer questions following the film. Mondays, through November 1, David Penniman and Rev Greg Brown will facilitate an informal discussion group called “Just An Inkling” which will feature readings, discussions and lighthearted debates of works by C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and others.
The gatherings will take place around the fireplace in the lobby of Stafford’s Perry Hotel in downtown Petoskey beginning at 7 pm. The topic is “Lewis and Tolkien” and will draw from The Annotated Hobbit, an edition of Tolkien’s classic novel The Hobbit with commentary by Douglas Anderson. Participants need not have read The Hobbit at attend “Just an Inkling” and may attend as many or as few sessions as they wish. There is no cost to participate.

Do the rest of you know that Michael Apted is listed as directing the Silver chair in 2012? also two writers are listed so it looks like they are working on it.
Really? Well,it’s good to know they’re working on it already
Yeah I can’t wait, though I wish they would start making the Magicians Nephew first.
Very interesting, Jesse. Did you see that on IMDb Pro? (I don’t have a subscription.) Who are the writers?
I have been a fan of all things “Narnia” and C.S. Louis for many years. In the last few months I keep replaying a dream I had one night dealing with an elderly “Susan” and what has been going on in her life. Since I can’t shake the memory of the dream, I figured maybe I should start writing it all down. Do you know how I can get it to Douglas Gresham for him to review when I am finished? A possible book? I know he must get tons of stuff from fans. But he seems open to new ideas as that one interview seems to say.
Forgive my typo
C.S. Lewis… not Louis
That’s what editors are for!
have you ever read “The problem with Susan”? Its a short story about an elderly Susan by Neil Gailman. I’ve never read it but what you said about your dream reminded me of it.
I have never heard of it until you mentioned it. I “just” googled it so I would be interested in possiblly reading, but maybe after I finsh my story to not steal any on what Mr. Gailman wrote. Thanks for the info.
My house is actually on the same block as the Perry Hotel, My sister and I go watch weddings there!!!! that is sooo cool, I didn’t that the C.S. Lewis Festival was going on there!!!!!!!!!!!WOW
Though there is a problem, I’m in Arizona right now so I won’t be able to go, other wise I probably would!!!!!
Will there be any of the people that play in the CN there?
