Narnia Books

The movie version of C.S. Lewis’ beloved children’s story, part of The Chronicles of Narnia series, won’t be in theaters until Dec. 9. But some booksellers are getting ready to pull out artificial fir trees, fake snow and Narnia-inspired stuffed animals.

The world of Narnia was recreated at a loft in New York City to introduce booksellers to THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE: The Official Illustrated Movie Companion by Executive Producer Perry Moore on June 3rd during the Book Expo Convention.

This month, in addition to a rather tongue-in-cheek story synopsis that Jenn and I intend as a nod to the story structure of Prince Caspian itself, George Rosok offers up a critique of the novel against the very standards which Lewis himself set for the genre of “children’s stories.” Also, Kathy Bledsoe takes a look at the spiritual significance of yet another (seemingly) warped aspect of the story: Aslan’s “holiday” with Bacchus and the boys—and girls!

King Shasta sent us an e-mail about a website featuring a Radio Dramatization of the Chronicles this summer.

In April we brought you an exclusive chapter from the forthcoming book “The Chronicles of Narnia and Philosophy”. NarniaWeb is proud to be able to present another chapter that you’ll only be able to find there. This chapter is on a fascinating topic, Why Uncle Andrew Couldn’t Hear the Animals Speak and is written by Kevin Kinghorn, a Philosophy Tutor at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford.

Toys, games, music, toothbrushes, clothes, etc. Here’s the list straight from Disney to you!

The book, Cameras on Narnia, features scenes from the movie of C S Lewis’ the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to illustrate his guide of the various roles and processes which go into making a movie.

Zondervan and its parent company, HarperCollins, own the publishing rights to the seven-book Narnia series by C.S. Lewis. And the companies will provide the one-two publishing punch for a host of auxiliary books, study guides and toys to go along with the movie.
