NARNIA PING LIST Please ping me to any threads about Narnia, and the works of C.S. Lewis. I maintain the Narnia list.

Listmembers! This film about Tolkien will have to include his good friend C.S. Lewis. They both taught at Oxford University and wrote fantasy novels, at the same time.

I think not.

This is about his youthful military and romantic experiences, and the three friends who helped him in his formative years as a writer. Lewis came much later.

The friends were the inspiration for the Fellowship of the Ring, and Edith was the inspiration for Luthien Tinuviel.
