after tolkien time in november i wanted to start off december with one of tolkien's friends & contemporaries, cs lewis, another favorite author of mine who wrote the chronicles of narnia ~
i have a couple different vintage sets of the books which were some of toxic's favorites.. the harper collins books are 90's & these collier ones are 70's ~
i remember one thanksgiving day of long ago toxic fell asleep in her great grandma's chair reading a narnia book (after the feast & all that tryptophan) with earphones on listening to the moody blues & she dreamed she was in narnia :) ~
here's a nice big complete version of the stories as well as activity books & paperdolls that came out after the movies ~
so far there have been 3 ~
the lion, the witch & the wardrobe, prince caspian & the voyage of the dawn treader ~
mcdonalds had good prizes after the first film.. they include aslan, the white witch, peter, susan, lucy, edmund, mr beaver & mr tumnus ~
the kid's meal box from the holiday season 2005-2006 ~
i was disappointed with the videogame that followed these films & although i tried to like it i just got annoyed with it, you have to connect up all 4 of your characters to do these very clunky combo moves so i ended up only playing this one part way ~
xbox game ~
i really like the more vintage bbc version of the narnia stories also ~
the set (i especially love the portrayal of puddleglum by tom baker of dr who fame!) ~
there were 2 different movies about cs lewis called shadowlands that are worth seeing, the 1994 version with anthony hopkins playing lewis & my favorite one, which is the older tv movie with joss ackland..
ghost & toxic
