Fools of April, with Best Wishes to Netflix, Taylor Swift, and Friends of Narnia
Yes, well, it was just a joke. Monday’s “EXCLUSIVE PILGRIM IN NARNIA RELEASE” was a total farce. I am not an academic consultant to the Netflix miniseries (though I hope someone is). As far as I know, pop sensation Taylor … Continue reading
And The Greatest of These…: A Review of C.S. Lewis’ Four Loves
This year I introduced an occasional feature I call “Throwback Thursday.” This is where I find a blog post from the past–raiding either my own vault or someone else’s–and throw it back out into the digital world. This might be … Continue reading

A New C.S. Lewis Letter with Details About Narnia
That’s right, Dominic Winter Auctioneers is putting a newly surfaced letter from C.S. Lewis on the auction block. It is a great artifact, as The Daily Mail reports, a generous and light bit of Narnian delight as Lewis answers some questions from schoolchildren … Continue reading
The Words C.S. Lewis Made Up: Jollification, Uglification, and the Miserific Vision

C.S. Lewis’ Philosophical Letters About Mice (for Susan Call Hutchison)
I posted on Monday about a cheeky poem that Lewis wrote about Talking Beasts. You can read about it here. One of our long-term readers here at A Pilgrim in Narnia, Susan Call Hutchison, responded by saying how she loved … Continue reading
The Real Order to Read Narnia: A Third Way
When my son and I sat down to go through Narnia together, perhaps when he was 7 and 8, I had no doubt that we would read them as C.S. Lewis wrote them–the Published Order. That means starting with The … Continue reading
