What would I do there? Well, Narnia is the kind of place where it's not important what you do, just being there is good enough. But to answer the question...

I'd like to enlist, if possible, in service to Aslan in the royal court at Cair Paravel or perhaps as a sailor, and so be involved in glorious battles and adventures. On my days off, I'd maybe go down to the marshes and do a little fishing, hang out with Puddleglum and his friends. In my spare time, or when I retired, I'd write a book about a fictional world called Earth, a dismal place, but one where you might unexpectedly meet and have adventures with fellow Narnians.(less)

“Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere the ceremony of innocence is lost
The best lack all conviction, while the worst are filled with passionate intensity.”
― W.B. Yeats
