We’ve just posted the twenty-fifth edition of the NarniaFans Mailbag. We’ve answered four letters this week from such topics as the film release dates, the rating for Prince Caspian, the Ultimate Fan Contest, Narnia Countdown Clocks (Help Wanted!) and we’ve been given the Turkish Delight recipe that used to be found on narnia.com!
