At long last, the story that I’ve been waiting so long to reveal to the world. Here is a very special Narnia story, that happened last fall, as described by publicist Ernie Malik.
What is it like to fall in love in Narnia?
by Ernie Malik
A curious question you may think. We bring it up here, while cruising along on our third voyage through this wondrous world created by C.S. Lewis, because the wonder of love did happen…to six couples who worked on both the first and second film adaptations.
The spirit was willing but the flesh was weak. Or at least Creative Labs’ support for Windows Vista was! That’s all right, for after we recorded this truncated podcast we found a work around. Next week things will be back to normal.
Paul Martin has some important news that is well worth hearing. I also provide my usual Bard’s Tale story, “Star’s Secret World.” What’s missing are the discussions. They will be back next week without fail.
We kindly ask your indulgence, and remind you that next week all will be back to normal.

John Burkitt (EveningStar), Paul Martin (Specter), and Roger Thomas (PrinceOfTheWest) team up to give the news and discuss it. The Bard’s Tale segment features a short story by John Burkitt, “The Statue in the Library.” In Movie Talk, we speculate when the first bits of “Prince Caspian” will make their way to audiences, and in Book Talk, we ask a couple of tricky questions of our panelists. Which ones? Listen and find out!
Trust us, episode 13 is not as unlucky as the number suggests…at least not while you’re listening to it. However trying to record it more than convinced host John Burkitt that disaster was lurking at every corner! The magic of editing removed a number of laughs…and tears…of frustration.

And remember, today is the deadline for the new NarniaFans Mailbag. Be sure to send us your e-mail, comments, questions, etc., marked “Mailbag” as soon as possible. This first one will be very small.
The fantasy world created by C.S. Lewis that has thrilled generations is brought to life again in a filmed version of ‘Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe‘
While exploring their new home in the English countryside, the four Pevensie children find a room that is essentially empty, aside from a wardrobe.
The youngest child, Lucy, stays behind after the others have left to inspect the wooden wardrobe – one that ultimately will transport her and her siblings to a new world of wonder and adventure.
Through the wardrobe lies the land of Narnia, a beautiful place destined to stay in endless winter by the evil White Witch, who turns her dissenters into stone.
While in Narnia, the children meet a mystical faun, befriend a family of beavers, join forces with a great and benevolent lion, defeat the wolf who served as the chief of the secret police, destroy the evil witch, and are crowned kings and queens, saving Narnia from its darkness.
Written in 1950, C.S. Lewis’ “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” is the first story written in the “Chronicles of Narnia” series – seven books that have sold more than 100 million copies.
The much-anticipated Walt Disney/Walden Media film “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” opens in theaters Friday.
“There’s something memorable about these books,” said Alan Jacobs, author of “The Narnian: The Life and Imagination of C.S. Lewis” and a professor of English at west suburban Wheaton College, which houses a collection of Lewis papers and memorabilia.
“It’s just a wonderful idea of going into another world through a musty old wardrobe in an empty room in an old house. It resonates with people’s imaginations.”
That sense of imagination is what keeps the story fresh even though it was written to have taken place during World War II. The children have been taken to the English countryside to avoid bombings on London.
“It’s timeless,” said Paul Martin, author of the Web site NarniaFans.com.
“One reason that I think the book has remained such a powerful story is that it taps into our childlike minds that can imagine whole other worlds and takes children on an adventure that is very empowering to children,” Martin said. “It shows children that they can do more than they think if the put their hearts into it.”
