Stone Table
In C. S. Lewis's fantasy novel series the ''Chronicles of Narnia'', the hill of the Stone Table, or Aslan's How, is a high mound or cairn, located south of the Great River in Narnia next to the Great Woods. The How was built over the hill of the Stone Table. The word ''how'' derives from the Old Norse ''haugr'', meaning hill or mound. In parts of England, it is a synonym for '' barrow''. At some point during the absence of the Pevensie children, a barrow was raised over the remains of the broken Stone Table. Who built the mound, or why, is not explained by Lewis. In '' Prince Caspian'' (1951), the runaway Prince Caspian flees into the forest from his evil uncle, King Miraz, and finds a host of good creatures and animals. When word gets out that the King's army is out to capture the Prince, he and his friends take cover inside Aslan's How. The How proves to be a reliable fortress. Miraz's army surrounds the mound and is fought off when the four Pevensies and Aslan return to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
White Witch
Jadis is a fictional character and the main antagonist of '' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'' (1950) and '' The Magician's Nephew'' (1955) in C. S. Lewis's series, ''The Chronicles of Narnia''. She is commonly referred to as the White Witch in ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'', as she is the Witch who froze Narnia in the Hundred Years Winter. Some recent editions of the books include brief notes, added by later editors, that describe the cast of characters. As Lewis scholar Peter Schakel points out, the notes' description of Jadis and the Queen of Underland (the main antagonist of '' The Silver Chair'') "states incorrectly that the Queen of Underland is an embodiment of Jadis". Beyond characterising the two as "Northern Witches", Lewis's text does not connect them. Character history Jadis was born on an unknown date long before the creation of Narnia. In ''The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'' she is identified by a character as a descendant of giants and Adam's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
