    <body><![CDATA[I was skeptical when I heard this was an &quot;original&quot; interpretation of Narnia, as that usually is just a selling point, but this truly was!  It's definitely a more-thorough view of how Lewis interpreted myth in everything.  It would be a great companion to The Discarded Image.]]></body>
