• ‘Narnia’ drifts from its vision? Really?

  
  Narnia Fans — Authority: 123
  We’ve been asked to comment on an article that appeared in the Washington Times last week.  I didn’t really know quite what to say, as every single paragraph in the article begs an entire article on its’ own.  There’s a lot to be said about it, and it is a very manipulative article, leading you to believe ...
