Bandersnatch by Diana Pavlac Glyer

Posted on February 12, 2016 by Brenton Dickieson

I’m pleased to remind readers of A Pilgrim in Narnia of Becka’s great blog. And what a great time! She is pumping Diana Pavlac Glyer’s new book, Bandersnatch–a must read for Inklings lovers in 2016.

About Brenton Dickieson

“A Pilgrim in Narnia” is a blog project in reading and talking about the work of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, the Inklings, L.M. Montgomery, and the worlds they created. As a "Faith, Fantasy, and Fiction" blog, we cover topics like children’s literature, myths and mythology, fantasy, science fiction, speculative fiction, poetry, theology, cultural criticism, art and writing. This blog includes my thoughts as I read through my favourite writings and reflect on my own life and culture. In this sense, I am a Pilgrim in Narnia--or Middle Earth, or Fairyland, or Avonlea. I am often peeking inside of wardrobes, looking for magic bricks in urban alleys, or rooting through yard sale boxes for old rings. If something here captures your imagination, leave a comment, “like” a post, share with your friends, or sign up to receive Narnian Pilgrim posts in your email box. Brenton Dickieson (PhD, Chester) is a father, husband, friend, university lecturer, and freelance writer from Prince Edward Island, Canada.

    I very much enjoyed reading “The Company They Keep” by her.

        E.g. pp 141-144 on the the funny, allegorical/satirical correspondence between the two (fictive) law offices Barfield & Barfield (Barfield) and Messrs Blaise & Merlin (CS Lewis) called “Mark vs Tristram”, in response to an article of Lewis on the 1934 discovery of two 15th century manuscripts of Malory’s romances, and the ensuing discussions on the discrepancy between the virtues of the noble knight as portrayed in the romances and the apparent major crimes committed by Malory, besmirching his chivalrous reputation – Malory even seemed to have written the romances in prison. I wonder if this is also mentioned in the Balderdash.
