Old Proofreaders Never Die

[msmemory_archive]

I was reading this publisher's blurb about the newly released book Chronicles of Narnia and Philosophy at
http://www.opencourtbooks.com/books_n/chronicles_of_narnia.htm

The first sentence reads, "Pushing through some mothballed fur coats in a wardrobe in a disused room of an old London house, Lucy and the other Pevensie children found themselves in a strange and wonderful country, populated by creatures unknown in our world."

Well, it's not in London, for starters. They've been sent to the countryside during the Blitz. The London house is in The Magician's Nephew.

I seem to recall that the Monopods weren't original to Lewis, though I can't remember the earlier source just now.
