Narnia

[Rachel Bray]

What kills me is that everyone says the book is all Christianity.  
There's SOOO many other things going on in those books than 
Christian allegories.  There's Norse, Druid, there's even some 
Greek mythology.  Also, I was raised Christian and I didn't catch 
ANY Christian references until I was in my early teens after having 
read the series many, MANY times.  And I'm supposedly 
RELATED to him (VERY distantly) and I never caught it (ha ha).  
(My maiden name is Lewis. My grandparents are from Swansea, 
Wales.)

Anyway.....interesting article.  I'd hate to see this happen just like I 
hate seeing all this Harry stuff popping up with it's crappy artwork 
(IMVHO from someone who can barely scribble a stick-figure). I 
would like to see a live action movie sometime if it was done right.  
I can't imagine how a CGI Aslan would be.....or fauns, talking 
beavers, tree spirits, giants, etc., etc., etc.  Perhaps that's why it 
hasn't been done yet.  It would become too bloody expensive!
:-)

Oh, and the article is wrong (if I read it correctly).  They don't get 
into Narnia JUST by a wardrobe, for goodness sakes.  There were 
several ways all the kids got in.  But I digress.....

Oh, the thrill of the chase as I soar through the air
With the Snitch up ahead and the wind in my hair
As I draw ever closer, the crowd gives a shout
But then comes a Bludger and I am knocked out.
