Join us for a journey to Narnia! In her just-published book From Spare Oom to War Drobe: Travels in Narnia with my Nine-Year-Old Self<\/a><\/em>, celebrated children’s and young adult fantasy author Katherine Langrish<\/a> has revisited her childhood reading of C. S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia series to explore what enchanted her in the books as a young reader, and ask whether they still have the power to do so. Hand in hand with her nine year-old self, Katherine traces many paths through Lewis’s thick forest of allusions not only to Christianity, but to Plato, fairy tales, myths, legends, medieval romances, renaissance poetry and indeed to other children’s books. She juxtaposes two very different ways of reading the Narnia stories: the adult, informed, rational way and the passionate childish way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join Katherine and the Centre for Fantasy and the Fantastic<\/a> co-directors Dr Robert Maslen and Dr Dimitra Fimi, on Thursday 17th June at 5pm BST<\/strong> via Zoom webinar. Rob and Dimitra will interview Katherine about the book and all things Narnia, before giving attendees the opportunity to participate in a Q&A with Katherine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
