    Could Narnia ever be banned?

    A few months ago it was reported that some of the famous Dr Seuss books are being withdrawn from publication because of 'racist imagery.' Now the Chronicles of Narnia have frequently been accused of promoting racism, sexism, colonialism and goodness knows how many other offences against...

    Lewis Youtube doodles

    I was drawing people's attention to a YouTube channel with illustrations (or 'doodles') of narrations of Lewis' nonfiction works, mainly at present 'Mere Christianity, 'The Four Loves' and parts of the Screwtape Letters. There were doodles of other essays including 'The Abolition of Man' but...

    How old is Lucy in LWW and PC?

    How old do you think Lucy is in LWW and PC? According to the "Official Timeline" she is 8 and 9. But in PC she is going to boarding school for the first time which would make her 11 there and 10 in LWW. Personally I think the latter makes more sense, otherwise we have too big a gap between SC...

    Earthsea

    Hello everyone, I'm new to this site and this is the first thread I've posted. I'm wondering what people think of the Earthsea novels of Ursula LeGuin. For me the original Trilogy (A Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan and The Farthest Shore) was one of the greatest fantasy series of all...
