This thread is for the deep questions about Narnia.

Ok, me first....

1) Why is it if calcium is good for you that Jadis didn't get healthy teeth and strong bones when Aslan bit her? :D

NOOOOoooooooo not another thread devoted to Chakal's horrible puns!?
 
A lion's teeth are made of calcium.

Matter of factly, Maugrim died of an overdose of iron......

Ok, here's another one. If the world of Terra where Narnia is happens to be flat, and it is (read the stories) how does one get to the north and south poles? And yet there are directions. Probably dependent upon the sun rising in the east no doubt. But if one can have north and south poles arbitrarily specified, why not also east and west poles? That's something you'll never find on Earth....

How would we know that lion's teeth are made of calcium!? It's almost as silly as us expecting you to know that polar bears are left-handed!

(And boy is that question deeeeeep!:D)
 
Nope nope nope.

His original name was Maugrim.

In the 1970s they published an American edition that had some of the more violent episodes toned down and they changed the name of the wolf to Fenris Ulf. The original British version is the one issued worldwide nowdays and it has (and always had) Maugrim.

I wondered why they changed it too...only to find out THEY didn't change it. :D
 
Perhaps the smiley faces are worth more than many words could ever suffice. But I thank you for your generosity nonetheless.

Actually, since teeth are bones, and bones are calcium, it would be self-evident.

Oh well...Feniris Ulf is sweeter
 
In one aspect, yes. In the American edition, there was no "Sir Peter, Wolf's Bane" it was "Sir Peter, Fenris Bane." Which sounds cooler. Since Wolfbane is actually a plant that grows in Europe. "Bane" and "banish" have the same root. The plant was said to ward off wolves.
