    Did you used to play Dungeons and Dragons?

    I certainly used to and I read somewhere here at Narnia Fans that Copperfox used as well. I used to play 1st Edition AD&D which had devils and demons as monsters. If I am not mistaken it was some Christian factions which objected to that and D&D complied and removed the devils in subsequent...

    Have you ever baked your own beans?

    Everyone knows baked beans, but have you ever made the recipe at home from scratch? I followed an American recipe and tried it. Delicious. It had no tomatoes in it but had dry mustard and treacle as flavouring.

    Thomas Covenant

    Has anyone read the Thomas Covenant series by Stephen Donaldson? They are epic! I read the first six books. Then he published four more! These I did not read. However the first six were my favourite as a teenager.

    The Eagle and Child pub is closed.

    The lockdown hit the pub hard. It closed soon after and is still closed today. I did hear the building needs serious renovation. I'm sure there are plans to reopen it sometime, but it may be a while. On the opposite side of the road is the pub called The Lamb and Flag. This is well known too. It...

    It is a book publisher which takes classic literature and releases quality editions of those books. Google them and you may be pleasantly surprised.

    I just found out that The Folio Society publish the series too. This may be what I ask for Christmas!

    Narnia In what order should the Chronicles of Narnia be read?

    Another noticeable thing about the H&HB reference in TSC is that CS Lewis says he does not have the time to tell us the story right now - inferring that it has not already been told. Hence he anticipated that it would be published AFTER the Silver Chair.

    Narnia In what order should the Chronicles of Narnia be read?

    Yes I think the publication order is best. Perhaps CS Lewis had a reason for publishing H&HB after TSC, feeling that is where it belonged.

    Narnia In what order should the Chronicles of Narnia be read?

    But TH&HB was written after TSC! How come there is a reference....?

    Could Narnia ever be banned?

    Recently the English Heritage society stated that Enid Blyton's books are racist and xenophobic. The modern human society is in a state of re-evaluation.

    Could Narnia ever be banned?

    To be fair I think that if The Chronicles were ever to be banned then there would be a lot of other books on the banned list too. The Narnia books are pretty meek compared to some of the literature out there.

    Do you collect the books?

    I just bought my fifth collection of the chronicles. I love the various differences in the editions, from the covers to either B&W or colour illustrations within. Do you collect the books too? The picture below is the latest I bought. With the old 1960's covers.
