overlooked topic in the 'the chronicles of narnia' article hi i'm not sure how to ask bring this up but i was wondering if there is some mention due to the supposed late night conversation apparent wager between c s lewis and j r r tolkien that purportedly spurred each man to create their respective masterpieces the chronicles of narnia and the lord of the rings i had heard various iterations of this from different sources over the years and recently found this article on the topic thanks
