will be published next week, just in time for Disney’s movie version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe .

Lewis, like a saint’s relics, including the sharp rivalry over which American school possesses the true wardrobe that was in Lewis’s room while he was writing his children’s masterpiece. Norman Stone, who made the Shadowlands movie about Lewis, is now working on a documentary about his subject, and he is reportedly gathering material on the frequent spats and insults that peppered Lewis’s friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien. "No harm in him," Lewis wrote after one discussion with his friend, "only needs a smack or so." One could say the same of so many friends.
