Hmm...Well, large chunks of the FAQ have suddenly been rendered- out of
date, haven't they.

I guess we need some new sections, even if the answers are currently "We
don't know any more than you do"

Very, very, very first thoughts

Is it true that there are going to be some new Narnia books?

Apparently so.

Who is going to be writing them?

No authors have been announced, but they are going to be established
children's fantasy authors.

Are the publishers going to censor C.S Lewis's chronicles of Narnia and
remove the Christian elements from the text?

A leaked internal memo from Harper Collins did indeed ask that the
religious aspect of the Narnia books be played down in a TV documentary
about Lewis's life. This appears to have quoted out of context as if it
referred to the Narnia books themselves; and many newspapers reported
the "that Harper Collins plan to re-write the Narnia books to remove
their Christian element". However according to Douglas Gresham, "This is
an evil lie; there are no such plans."

Don't know if this has been posted here, but it's kind of funny:

"Well," said Aslan, "I suppose we could try lasers."

And into the quote file it goes. :-)

The article was rather funny, wasn't it?
