| 1 book rec, 1 essay and 1 unusual history |
[Oct. 27th, 2008|12:05 am] |
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!

Brief History of Narnia and the Lands Beyond.
As told by Petraverd, Unicorn and Scholar of Narnian Lore to his faithful scribe, Epidius the Faun

A few things here that may go on my Christmas List. Enjoy! And if anyone would like to do a book review on any of the above books (or similar) for next week, that would be fabulous! |
