	The Chronicles of Narnia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chronicles of Narnia contain many allusions to traditional Christian ideas, presented in a format designed to make them easily accessible to younger readers; however, the books can also be read purely for their adventure, colour, and richness of ideas, and as a result have become favourites of children and adults, Christians and non-Christians alike.
		According to Paul Ford's Companion to Narnia, there is no indication that Lewis was alluding to the ancient Umbrian city Nequinium, renamed Narnia by the conquering Romans in 299 BC after the river Nar, a tributary of the Tiber.
		Narnia itself is populated by a wide variety of creatures most of whom would be recognisable to those familiar with European mythologies and British fairy tales.

	Narnia
		Narnia is a land of rolling hills rising into low mountains to the south, and is predominantly forested except for marshlands in the north.
		Narnia is home to talking varieties of many rodents and other small mammals including rabbits, beavers, ermines, hares, hedgehogs, otters, squirrels, moles, mice, rats and water rats.
		Eustace returned to Narnia with his school friend Jill Pole, and they were sent by Aslan to find the lost prince, a journey which took them to the wild lands of the north, inhabited by giants, and to the underworld where an evil Queen had bewitched Rilian into doing her bidding.

	© Narnia - narni_eu
		Although "The Chronicles of Narnia" developed from the fancies of C. Lewis, curiously some parts find their roots in Italy and Italian culture.
		According to Paul Ford's Companion to Narnia, Lewis's first successes at Oxford were in the classics and ancient history, it is quite possible that he came across at least seven references to Narnia in Latin literature.
		The name, Narnia, that Lewis bestowed upon his land of talking beasts, speaking streams and Aslan the lion was most likely taken from his readings of classical writers who introduced the town of Narnia to him as the last defense of Roma on the Flaminia road.

		Yesterday was their last night in town, so we rented a movie and ordered in some Chinese food.
		Narnia, on the other hand, is like the K-Mart discount bin of mythology.
		Narnia, meanwhile, has a talking rhino run through the middle of a battlefield skewering centaurs and bears, and I’m sitting there wondering if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

	USATODAY.com - The wonderful world of 'Narnia' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		When the first trailer for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe makes its U.S. premiere Saturday night during ABC's showing of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets— airing at the same time in 30-plus countries — viewers are apt to gaze in wonder.
		As a result, Wardrobe is a lavish spectacle that aims to reach heights of sophistication and scope that haven't been seen in non-animated Disney family films since Mary Poppins floated onto the big screen in 1964.
		Narnia, which has sold 85 million copies in 29 languages since Wardrobe was published in 1950, carries a built-in core audience that crosses generations, much like The Lord of the Rings.

	Pharyngula::Narnia as an inoculation
		Neil Saunders passed along this Guardian review, 'Narnia represents everything that is most hateful about religion', and now I may also have to see it just because it'll feed my distaste.
		In case you haven't read that one (or have forgotten it), that's the nasty one set in the pseudo-Islamic land of Calormen where evil men are dark-skinned, wear turbans and beards, fight with scimitars, and of course worship Tash, who is of course none other than Satan himself.
		The imagery of the whole of Narnia being wiped out by Aslan was quite striking, but the afterlife of Narnia seemed a very poor replacement fantasy for the fantasy that was in the books, and it didn't make a lot of sense.

		Tacitus and Livy both mention Narnia, while Pliny the Younger sent a letter to his mother-in-law complimenting her on the beautiful baths in her Narnia villa.
		Pliny the Elder comments on Narnia's unusual weather in his Natural History - not that it was covered in snow year-round, but that it became drier in the rainy season.

		Narnia producers are counting on the church crowd much the same way as Gibson relied on evangelicals to talk up his movie, but with one notable exception: "Targeting children will be a main priority," says Mark Moring, online managing editor of music and film websites for ChristianityToday.com.
		Narnia is already capturing attention in Christian circles, and many church leaders are noting its potential as an evangelism tool.
		While church leaders may see Narnia as an opportunity to address spiritual issues with people in their community, the creative team of Motive Marketing, Walden Media, and Walt Disney Productions may see the Christian community as a simply another tool for promotion, much like alliances that place cartoon characters on McDonald's Happy Meals.

	The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis
		In fact, the final direction of the good characters of Narnia is west rather than east- in The Last Battle, heading "further up and further in".
		Add to this the fact that Narnia is not a "make believe" place somewhere in Lewis' imagination, but an actual town that existed in Italy (later called Narni)(5), and you can see that Lewis may have been writing about things that he believed to be true.
		16, p.119; "a town and episcopal see of the province of Terni, region of Umbria, Italy...picturesquely situated on a lofty rock (787 ft.)...taken by the Romans in 299 B.C....According to some author, the emperor Nerva was born at Narnia.

	Commentaries: My Day in Narnia - Christianity Today Movies
		And the reason becomes clear: Most of the people working on this movie—two glaring exceptions being Swinton and Johnson—had read the Narnia Chronicles as children and revere them as the powerful shapers of a child's heart that they are.
		This is the way Narnia's values invade our hearts; we love the story and are shaped by it, even when we don't know all its details or realities.
		Cast and crew, director, producer, and stars all seemed to be working toward a goal that transcended their own cares of the moment, and they worked toward it with a respect and a desire that appeared grounded in the "magic from before the beginning of time."

		A writer at factmonster.com says: "Narnia" was in fact the name of an ancient Roman colony in central Italy, named for the river Nar (now Nera).
		By chance, the modern-day town of Narni (as it is now known) honors a local saint known as "Blessed Lucy of Narnia." Today the town's Cathedral of Narnia adjoins a shrine to this St. Lucy.
		Add to this the fact that Narnia is not a "make believe" place somewhere in Lewis' imagination, but an actual town that existed in Italy (later called Narni), and you can see that Lewis may have been writing about esoteric things that he believed to be true.
