AND, today, I was reading a shortened version of The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe to elf-boy. Just occured to me that the gifts Aslan gave to the children weer extremely similar to the ones Galadriel gave to the fellowship.

Interesting! Never noticed that--but I do seem to remember something to the effect that after Lewis heard Tolkien read The Hobbit, he suggested they each write a story along similar lines. Lewis came up with Lion; Tolkien came up with LotR.
