 | | This article about Till We Have Faces appeared in the August 2000 issue of CSL: THE NEW YORK C. The Narnian Chronicles are the best known of all C. Lewis's fiction, but the meanings of the key names Aslan and Tash are not widely known. |
 | | (Aslan is the Turkish word for lion, and Tash is the Turkish word for stone.) Readers interested in Lewis's mind and creative processes are glad to learn about the etymology and associations of these and other names in the Chronicles -- Emeth, Tisroc, Tashbaan, and Clodsley Shovel, for example. |
 | | Shortly after completing the Narnian Chronicles, Lewis wrote his favorite of all his own books, Till We Have Faces. |
