I would be sparing with old Anglo-Saxon names like Mildred and old French names like Genevieve. Clearly Lewis generated those names by using the languages of similar cultures on Earth but did not directly assimilate any of them...with the exception of "Aslan" of course... Try these on for size...

Hwin's wife....Hwinnyfred? ;-)

I chose Eveningstar because it is Ratsgnineve spelled backwards...

Not sure, but what could be so deplorable about a word undone by ringing someone up on Ma Bell? ;-) At the very least it does bear some resemblance to the way nuclear weapons didn't produce so much peace on earth as a deadlock? I am reminded of how the Soviet Union built strategic factories and...

I see what happened in Charn as a sort of cold war. Think of a cold war between two nuclear powers (not hard if you use your imagination...) Each side could destroy the others...it's like mutually assured destruction doctrines that kept the US and USSR fighting proxy wars in jungles like Vietnam...

Bottom line: He does not feel people have the right to be offended by weaponizing his breath. In other words, clean and tidy is for peasants that have a head to chop off and want the pleasure indefinitely postponed.

Every society has human rights. Some, like Belgium, invest those rights almost exclusively in individual people. Others, like China, invest those rights with the state, which must survive at all costs. So the question is, is the state great because it is made up of good people, or is it like...

Got a point there, Peep.

Racial, racial, racial. Tsk tsk. Ever think the major problem was CULTURAL? Everyone who grew up around my time was familiar with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz on the I LOVE LUCY tv show. They were married in real life too, only they ended up getting a divorce because, as Desi put it, having an...

Yes, it was part of their diet.

Readers PARTICIPATE in a story where invited to do so. You are invited to participate in the Chronicles of Narnia by everything left to your imagination. If you think she was saved, you're absolutely right. If you think she was not saved, you're absolutely right. As for what I think and feel, I...

Perhaps what Aslan said to Edmund was so Edmund-shaped that it wouldn't fit into C.S. Lewis' ability to channel it creatively. I doubt if anyone ever wrote a fanfic about Jesus they would have invented his ideas of being born again or blessed are the poor in spirit.

Specific, like calling Aslan a lion rather than a feline.

Why not film it on location? Best thing about using the real Narnia is no labour unions.

Perhaps Edmund's lack of a gift WAS his gift. A subtle reminder that each moment, when gone, does not return.

Writing a very brief story to celebrate the olden days...because I can. Not every doorway into Narnia is grand or impressive. And not everyone that enters one gains fame or fortune. Once a little squirrel was delighted to find a hollow tree that appeared ready-made for storing nuts for the...

As I understand it, my mum wished to have cubs but never could. She wished on the Evening Star for offspring...even if only one. And I was born, an only furling. She named me in honour of my supernatural benefactor.

Consider this: the very first fans HAD to read them in publication order! ;-)

I think she had to trick someone into cutting down the tree of protection. That would have been one of those moments like Satan tempting Eve to eat from the tree of life. He couldn't FORCE her to but he PERSUADED her to. I once wrote a story of some young prince who had visions of a lovely...

They were the Men of Bism.
