Am I in Narnia?


















This is a test for any readers or watchers of the Chronicles of Narnia. There are two objects in this scene from which CS Lewis drew inspiration. Do you know what they are?

(I tried to give you a hint by altering the picture.)

This is an alleyway leading to the Bodleian Library and The Radcliffe Camera, behind which I now sit at Blackwell's Books in the only air conditioned WiFi spot I have been able to find. We are so spoiled in the States!


ANSWERS:
the gold figure above the doorway inspired Tumnus
the lampost
