My mom, though born and raised on the States, is 100% Mexican. I have been able to trace back to the mid-1800's. My dad is a mix of Great Britain (English, Scottish, Irish) and Native American. On line is traced to the area of Norwich, England c. 1620.

I had always thought (but I do accept that I could be wrong) that they were at a standard dining room table, at which the diners would sit at the long sides of the table. If you look from one side of the table, I picture, from left to right: Peter, Digory, Edmund, then Polly. From the other...

I believe that Susan does make it. However, if she continues on the path that is described at the end of TLB, she may end up like the dwarves. Within Aslan's County but not recognizing it as such.

My username is a bit of a munge of my full name. The first "r" is for Robert. "ray" is for Raymond. "m" is for McGirt. I came up with it because, in my first IT job, somebody else had already claimed "rrm".

I prefer publication order. It is how I first read it. I still prefer publication and here's why: In LWW, we are introduced to the Old Professor and the Wardrobe. There is passing references to them in PC and VDT. While reading SC and HHB, I, and I suspect others, have completely forgotten...

I apologize. I started this reply incorrectly. I meant to say: I DO NOT disagree.

I do disagree with anything already mentioned, but I thought that I would add another thought. I wonder if it is not so much a loss of faith, but that other "things" overtook her faith. For many of us, our faith first develops in childhood. Many people (like my dad), try to live as adults...

I think that Rishda is just a conniving fool who is taking advantage of the situation for his own gain, power, money, and glory. He will support anyone who will help him get what he wants. And he will say and do anything and oppose anyone who crosses him.

Many people read or study the Bible and see it as history or literature or mythology. They can thoroughly enjoy the words on the page much like "Anna Karenina" or "Oliver Twist", seeing it all as just words. I contend, though, deeper meaning can be found in both the Bible and Narnia (and many...

I am concerned that if too much time and/or funds are used in depicting the period between the start of the Pevensie rule and the start of Prince Caspian, they will run out of time/funds to produce the remaining stories.
