Narnia Chronicled The Lion, the Witch, and the Horn Book

We’ve been frequent visitors to Narnia since 1951, when we applauded the publication of a “beautifully written” new book by the author of the Screwtape Letters. Hollywood’s splashy arrival on the scene gives us a happy excuse to dig out our own family scrapbook of the kingdom: original reviews, commentaries, editorials, and letters to the editor — a rich collection spanning over half a century. But we also include something thoroughly modern and only available here: reviews of the recent film adaptations.
