I've said this before your words would show us once again that romance is alive and well and Jane Eyre really is my favorite story

Oh, I'm a publication order for this series. How did you read it as a child? So much sorta gets spoiled in the chronological order.

[@ArnellaHobler]

I suppose I didn't think of it as a child, because I didn't know it was a spoiler at the time. If that makes sense. 😊 But I understand wanting to re-read it in publication order!

[@MartinDSmith]

Are you sure the book isn't called The Rings Of Power?😂How is the third installment of Leaves Of Holly coming along?

[@ArnellaHobler]

That one got me for a second 😅 honestly, it's a fitting name! It's coming along nicely, scheduled release is autumn 2025! Thank you for asking ☺

(Never read any book in the series!) What about Polly? Did Digory just move away and never think of her again? Her fate reminds me of Susan Pevensie's, later in the series (I just read Wikipedia for plot summaries). C.S. Lewis's misogyny was the gift that kept on giving, wasn't it? If I'd read the series as a child, I might have absorbed the incredibly harmful idea that girls are inferior to boys.

Polly frequently visited Digory at the grand estate, but that's all it says in the book! But I'm a hopeless romantic so I like imagining that they ended up getting married eventually 😊

If you had read the Narnia books, I doubt that you would have absorbed any idea that girls are inferior to boys. Girls partner with boys and share in the Narnian adventures in all of the books, even having experiences that the boys don’t have - most notably Lucy and Susan’s witnessing Aslan’s death at the hands of the White Witch and his subsequent resurrection in “The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe”. In reading the Wikipedia article, you appear to have picked up only the negative comments that a few writers make that C.S. Lewis had a sexist attitude towards girls based on one description of the character Susan as an older girl who had put her Narnian experiences in the past. I think it’s a real stretch to conclude that the author was sexist from this one sentence and even more of a stretch to apply the idea to all seven books. Furthermore, in contrast to these comments, the article quotes a number of writers who view the Narnia stories as very complimentary to the female characters.

She did not marry him, they were good friends for the rest of their lives though. I sort of like that actually, friendships are often underestimated.

what´s the point in retelling the story? Don´t you know what "literary criticism" mean?

[@LSK1]

The title of the video is "cozy summary" not "literally criticism " ....
