Re: the question about things Lewis and his Chronicles have been accused of: it’s actually all four. Critics have argued that Lewis believed children to be holier than adults, the evidence being that only children can travel to Narnia (not true, its first king and queen were adult Londoners) and how the Seven Friends of Narnia were died untimely deaths while Susan lived out her life as punishment for forgetting Narnia (also not quite right, as Digory and Polly were old when they died.)

I’d have to agree with Andrea on the subject of Lewis’ critics, although I totally forgot about the Calormene/Muslim connection when answering racism on that question.
Only 25%. I thought I knew the man better than that.
The kids & I went to see the movie on Friday evening; good movie with great special effects, but I was disappointed by the story line deviations.
