Thank you Specter for all your work transporting the Dancing Lawn to this server! I just used the search function today and it was so cool to be able let the magic of binary find the 2008 G.K. Chesterton and George MacDonald thread (instead of searching through threads from "since the beginning...

Yes (but not the disposable surgical ones; they won't wash well). They would make lovely Crazy Quilts. What did Lasaraleen wear to Aravis' and Prince Cor's wedding?

My family has been reading George MacDonalds' The Princess and the Goblin aloud this last month or so. What an enchanting adventure! I think 8-year-old Princess Irene, the heroine, is refreshingly delightful... (you can tell MacDonald really loved and understood children!). Also I love how the...

In my opinion, I stand with those who vote yes... After all "once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen." That said, I agree with Glenburne and Evening Star that her journey to Aslan's country probably would have many twists and turns, disappointments and sorrows. If I were to...

SisterinArms, Thank you so much for zooming by -- blessings on you, your marriage and your son! One of my major joys during pandemic was reading through the seven Narnicles of Chronnia (our family pet name for this series) as a family with my husband and daughter. The characters are our...

Hermit, Thank you for starting this unfortunately relevant topic of racism and banning. And yet Caspian X of the Telmarines becomes the rightful king of True Narnia, and one of the heroines of Horse and His Boy was Calormene...

This past week my family completed read aloud all seven of the Chronicles, this time in chronological order... Thanks to the extra time we have been spending at home during pandemic, we got to rediscover the joy of reading to each other. My favorite parts of our reading adventures was to see...

So thankful that Peter Beagle prevailed in court --

I watched the Children's Television Workshop version of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe in the 80's! (Note my avvy picture) :)

Thank you Maz for reminding us of this lovely description of the creation of Narnia :). This is one of the reasons why the Magician's Nephew is my favorite chronicle (although LWW and Last Battle are close seconds).

Thank you Specter! I can now post without having to wait for moderation, and I can both edit and like posts!

Spoiler Alert Oh now I see. A few more questions: 1. So could someone help me make sense of al those scenes in Return of the Jedi in which Kylo and Rey are telepathically communicating? Is that just a part of Jedi culture? 2. And also, how did Kylo and Rey end up fighting Palatine together...

I wish there was a way to <like> your post, Specter! Thank you for being there for us.

(y) Did you get to see them Tirian back in December?

I like snow because I like snowshoe hiking... but not for shoveling sidewalks or excavating cars. The person below me has played a musical instrument this week.

I love these too -- So much detail! Actually I am reading The Screwtape Letters via a weekly Zoom group right now, and those doodles were especially true to the text and creepy :)

Post a photo or graphic of True Christmas sightings (that is, the original Christmas story as opposed to holiday images). --------------------------- Okay, I'll start. This Advent through January 6, Biola University is posting scripture, music, art and poetry that reflect on the scriptures...

My family has started reading through all the Chronicles, and I was struck by a similarity between Uncle Andrew is Chapter 10 of Magician's Nephew and the Dwarves in the Stable at the end of The Last Battle. ---------------------- >>Spoiler Alerts!<< Uncle Andrew convinces himself that Aslan...

I read this four volume series this spring while sheltering at home, and on many levels I would recommend this series because the storyline spans both the every day world as well as this fantasy world, Ahoratos. Each book feature children and youth who are developing into Prince warriors as...

Why do you think Jadis became so weak and deathly uncomfortable when she was transported to the Wood between the worlds?
