Prince Caspian (Part 1: Creeks and Constellations!)
Tuesday Mar 22, 2022
Tuesday Mar 22, 2022
Season Two begins with a long-awaited return to Narnia!
Logan Huggins (who also edited and produced this episode) joins Chris to talk about the first few chapters of Prince Caspian. Among other things, we discuss:
- Searching for "Old Narnia" in a meandering sequel
- The awkwardness of being a former grown-up
- How did Trumpkin, Nikabrik, and Trufflehunter become roommates?
- Why the book is still better than the movie
- Why Prince Caspian should be read second--after The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
- Prince Caspian as a Narnian "Book of Acts"
- Garfield Minus Garfield
- The number of characters and nature of community
- Entering frame tales in Narnia
(I apologize for my very poor attempt at a British accent in the readings, but it would have been far more distracting to hear the children's dialogue in an unapologetically American accent. By Jove.)
