Christi, I just heard the part where you said that Tolkien's comments about Father Christmas in the Narnia world hurt your heart. I heard an amazing lecture on Lewis' cosmology in the Narnia series some time ago; I'm afraid I can't remember the name of it but it's on KZitem. I don't think it was a Wade Center talk, but it may have been. The lecturer explained how the medieval cosmology -- the reigning energies of the planets -- was the structure of the Narnia books. Each book was governed by the energy of say Mars or Jupiter, etc. It made so much sense to me. Father Christmas fits in with this perfectly somehow, but I'm afraid I can't remember how.

What a load of twaddle. If you have not done your homework don't stand up and lecture people.
