Hullo! Sorry it's been awhile, it was my birthday! But anyway here is part three, about the lovely people who make up the world of narnia. Remember one of these is wrong and you have to geuss which one!!I really don't think this is a spoiler, but if you think so, say so.

1.) Aravis' father is lord of Calavar.

2.) Aravis has younger sister.

3.) Lewis said that the first Narnia story, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, all came to him from a picture he had in his head of a faun carrying an umbrella and parcels through a snowy wood. In that way, Mr. Tumnus was the initial inspiration for all of the Narnia books.

4.) When Queen Helen first came to Narnia she curtsied to Aslan.

5.) When they landed in Narnia King Frank suggested everyone stay calm by singing Come Ye Thankful People, Come, a hymn.

6.) Eustace Clarence Scrubb is afraid of heights.

Perhaps I will do this theme again, there are just so many Narnians.

Well, have fun,

Okay, the second part is going to be about Aslan, the Mighty Lion. Again, one of the facts will be wrong and it's your job to guess which one is wrong.

1.) "Aslan" is the turkish word for "lion".

2.) "Aslan"  was used as a title for Ottoman and Seljuq rulers.

3.) Aslan is the only character to appear in all seven books.

4.)The theory that Aslan may have been inspired by a mysterious lion which appears and disappears suddenly in the novel The Place of the Lion, written by Lewis' friend Charles Williams, was specifically denied by Lewis in a paper published later in his life.

5.)When Lewis started to write Narnia the character of Aslan was going to be a shapeshifter who took the form of a different animal almost every time you saw him.

6.)According to the author, Aslan is not an allegorical portrayal of Christ, but rather a different, hypothetical, incarnation of Christ himself: If Aslan represented Jesus, he would be an allegorical figure. However, he is an invention giving an imaginary answer to the question, 'What might Christ become like if there really were a world like Narnia and He chose to be incarnate and die and rise again in that world as He actually has done in ours?'

I hope this one is a little harder then last time, you all guessed it to easy.

Hullo, I have been thinking for awhile that I don't post enough but I just didn't know what to say. Well, I have thought of something. I thought I would post some facts about various things and one of them would false.This post's theme is C.S. Lewis. I will post 5 facts about Lewis and and one made-up one. Ity is your job to geuss which one is made up. If you guys like this I will do it again.

1. Unfortunately C.S. Lewis died on the 22 of November 1963. This was the same day JFK was assassinated.

2. The 'C.S.' in 'C.S. Lewis' stands for Charles Samuel.

3. C.S. Lewis' friends and family called him 'Jack' because his dog Jacksie was run over by a car when Lewis was four and he insisted on being called 'Jacksie' but later accepted 'Jack'.

4. He had one older brother, Warren H. Lewis.

5. Lewis' wife and mother died from cancer.

6.Lewis and his brother created Boxen, a world run by animals.

Enjoy!

I had almost forgotten how lovely spring in Narnia is!! Very wonderful. It is very nice to see all the woodland creatures up and about, celebrating spring. What a sad time it must have been when there was no spring... but we shouldn't dwell on that. Just writing this to make sure all my fellow Narnians enjoy this lovely time of the year!!

Hullo!! I'm Digory Kirke (or Summer). I was one of the first humans in Narnia and I had the VERY special privilege to be there when The Great Lion Himself first sang Narnia into existence. I was also there when Fledge got his wings--thanks again for letting Polly and I ride you, Fledge. It is very nice to see so many Narnians here. Although I am sorry my Uncle Andrew tricked Polly and I into Narnia and I am sorry Jadis got in I am glad that everything turned out rather nice. As they say in the world I come from: 'All's well that ends well.' (Not sure if that's entirely true, but oh well). I will try to post as often as I can.

In Aslan's Mane,
