So I'm part of this new anthology about Narnia called Through the Wardrobe, now available at Borders bookstores. Basically various authors (including Sarah Beth Durst, Ned Vizzini, Diane Duane, and many other authors) write about why particular books in the Narnia series were/are important to them. The title of my essay is "Forgotten Castles and Magical Creatures in Hiding," and it's all about Prince Caspian, and how that's the one book in the series where the world of magic and the world of the ordinary are in conflict and at war: the Telmarines versus the talking animals! But I argue that it's the one Narnia book that's the most "relevant" to my life, because "magic" has been in conflict with the "ordinary" all my life!
How have I reconciled the two? Well, you have to read the essay to find out!
Anyway, the publishers, Ben Bella Books, have generously offered to make a couple of copies available free. How do you get em? Drop me a postcard with your name, age, and address on it. I'll randomly select winners, and we'll mail you a free copy. Pretty simple huh?
Here's where to send the postcard (postmarked by 3/14/08):
