Remember the Signs

I love The Silver Chair. The characters are most relatable and the journey fascinating, though there's not as much action as in others. (Whatever would the movie-makers do with this one?) I've already written another SC post about Puddleglum.
Here's what you need to know: Protagonists Jill Pole and Eustace Scrubb are sent to Narnia on a quest to save the lost Prince Rilian, King Caspian's son, from his enchanted imprisonment. Because of a blunder of Jill's, the two are split up when they first arrive and so Jill is alone given by Aslan the Four Signs that will lead them on their journey.

Heaven's Fruit



First of all, to my approximately 2 regular readers, I'd like to apologize for missing a couple weeks. I have no excuse, I was just lazy. My only hope is that absence makes the heart grow fonder. To anyone else who may have stumbled upon, enjoy.
Whenever I eat a particularly juicy grape or sweet strawberry, I think of this paragraph from LB. It comes just after Tirian, the last King of Narnia, arrives in the New Narnia (heaven). He has just met the Seven Friends of Narnia and they all begin to explore together. (The Seven Friends of Narnia are everyone from our world who has visited Narnia, excluding Susan -- a topic for another post. They are Digory, Polly, Peter, Edmund, Lucy, Eustace and Jill.)
