This week’s round-up on narnia_recs
This week we only have two rec. posts:
Art: Five artworks depicting Reepicheep
Fiction: 3 stories of Reepicheep and the Dawn Treader
Next week we are looking for YOUR recs in the following areas: Tumnus & 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'.
These recs will be credited to the first person to tell me about them, unless s/he prefers to remain anonymous. And please feel free to post your own recommendations directly to the community, as long as they are set in or concerning Narnia.
Further News
I have posted quite a few single ship links to narnia_recs, but because it is a free asylum, it has a limited number of links to display on the page. I have therefore placed all the single ship links on one page and linked to it from the 'links' display at the top of the page.

This week I found a community that holds competitions for Narnian icons. They’re active, but struggling, and I’ve seen a lot of great icons around, so take your fabulous icons over there and support them!
Friends of Aslan

Did you know that FanFiction.Net has 65 Communities devoted to Narnia fan-fiction? Each community archive specialises in some aspect of Narnia. Want Susan/Caspian? There’s a community for it. Just Pevensie Incest? It’s there. Strangely fascinated by Jadis? Got a community for that too. Check them all out at:
http://www.fanfiction.net/communities/book/Chronicles_of_Narnia/
I just don’t get the point of fanlistings, but this one is relevant to the theme, so here it is...

Today’s non-fiction recs are an eclectic lot! One book link, one serious essay and one unusual history of Narnia
This link takes you to Amazon.com, to the Table of Contents for CS Lewis’ book entited ‘Poems’ which includes poems about Narnia. I don’t think I was previously aware that Lewis wrote Narnian poetry. Another one for the Christmas list!
