Yeah, and also they would not be written by the same person who actually wrote the whole series. Be written be another hand..

:blink: Please tell me you're joking.

I really don't know what to say, except...that's horrible. And not even just taking out Christian symbolism (as we've pointed out, that's a fool's mission) but the fact that they're adding on to Lewis. He completed what he wrote. No more is needed.
End of story.

Exactly. It's all fne and good if its a fanfic, but to actually publish it and to claim ties to Lewis' narnia, and for it to be held as its equal? Awful! *shudders*

It would be like, 50 years from now, some company making Episodes 7,8 and 9 of Star Wars. Even thought hey were already completed by Lucas long ago.

I'd just like to say that Narnia was never written as a Christian story by C.S. Lewis. He's even said so himself. It was never meant to be allegorical. If anything, Narnia was inspired by old English [pagan] folklore and Greek Mythology.

Having said that I think it's quite a shame to write new Narnia books. What, the original ones won't do anymore?!

Yeah really, are the original not good enough? *roll eyes* it doesnt have to be like LOTR, and have all this background stuff. Not saying anything against Tolkien. :)

I also want to note that Tolkien hated allegory...

Does anyone have any idea *who* will be writing these [let's sue 'em! ...JK] and when the new books come out?
