Always good to know there are committed readers out there who see the worth and depth of Lewis's "flawed" works ;-) Thanks, Danielle.

In response to your opening paragraph, Prince Caspian actually is one of my favorite Narnia books (along with LWW and Voyage of the Dawn Treader). I think it may be because of the scene you quoted with Aslan and Lucy; this is probably my favorite passage in all of the books. As you mentioned, the character of Nikabrik, and all of the themes Lewis deals with through that character, make this volume every bit as weighty as the others. I also love seeing the contrast in Edmund's character from LWW--his nobility in general, and his willingness to believe Lucy and follow Aslan. Thanks for the post!

I read often, but I don't believe I've ever commented. I'm a university student at Oral Roberts. I became an avid reader of Lewis as soon as I started college. I started reading Chesterton, McDonald, and Lewis for fun and haven't stopped since. I believe in an earlier post, you said the movie makers of Prince Caspian themselves "spent no time in Narnia" or something to that effect. I agree. I don't have much else to say. I do, however, want to thank you for keeping this blog. It's a joy to read. I'll try to remember to leave comments more often. Blessings, Courtney F I really enjoyed this blog post.
