The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe - 12/9 - Page 8

He also married a woman with children who ended up dying of cancer I think. There was a movie starring Anthony Hopkins about his life, it is called Shadowlands it is really good. There is also a heart wrenching book about his time with Joy his wife called " A severe mercy" written by a close friend of his. It is a lovely book but definately tears your heart out at times. C.S. Lewis was an amazing man with a great talent.
It is fascinating to me that he was such good friends with another great talent JRR Tolkien.

Debra Winger played his wife in the movie. It's a very sweet, sad story.

Hmm. I was doing the "Which character are you quiz" -- (I'm Caspian, apparently) -- and then looked at the other ones, and I found it interesting that they have pictures of people playing several characters from later books, although not quite all -- a few later ones were drawings. Have they started filming the others yet? There were characters from at least through "The Silver Chair."

Merchandise is supposed to be out the end of Oct. Looks like there are two calanders : )
I hope they come up with a realistic looking stuffed Aslan!

I just got my copy of the movie companion from Amazon! I can't wait to settle down with it and a good cuppa tea!

Lucy, I heard that they are planning on shooting movies for all of the books. However, it is all dependant on how the first movie does.

I don't know if a unicorn is from any story but it does fit with the fantasy theme.

Lucy · 10-27-2005, 05:32 PM

I think Jewel the Unicorn was from "The Last Battle," or whatever the last book was.
That was always my least favorite, though, so I'm not positive.
