C.S. Lewis
didn't like the idea of a Narnia film.
"Anthropomorphic animals, when taken out of narrative into actual visibility, always turn into buffoonery or nightmare," he wrote."This is a great time to be editing a magazine," he said.

It is a very interesting time for Harper's." Harper's has a new editor.In my day, we called it conjuring the Buddha. The Always Amusing Euphemism Generator.(
