Narnia

I think I spelled that right. Anyway, what do y'all think of them? The stories are ok...but I don't think Lewis was a very good writer. "There were once four children and their names were Lucy, Susan, Peter and Edmund." Good heavens, what writer with any skill at all would start a story like that? Talk about boring! Anyway, I guess their alright....but if you haven't read Tolkien yet, read Narnia first. You'll never be able to enjoy Narnia after you read Tolkien.

I'm I right in believing that Tolkien was a good friend with Lewis? Am I also right in believing that Lewis based one of his characters on Tolkien?

Lewis and Tolkien were great friends.

Aslan is cool!

Hi - we once had quite a discussion about Narnia on this board before, but it hadn't been active for a while. I'm sure you'd enjoy continuing this discussion on that original thread. Thanks!
