So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

I read them all as a child, and saw the Christian allegory in LWW and Last Battle, but not the others. I grew up in a Quaker family, but without a lot of Christian input (except via Children's Class on Sundays when they often tried to read a bible story to us and get us to draw pictures of - which I ignored as I didn't want to draw things and mostly sat in a corner and read whatever I was reading).
I enjoyed the books, especially Horse and His Boy and Prince Caspian, but stopped reading them around 7/8 deciding that I'd grown out of them, and I don't think I reread them until around when the first film came out. It was very interesting to go back to them and see so much more of the messages and allegories.

Yep, those two are my favourites, too.

I stopped reading them too, perhaps a little older than that, but there was a BBC adaptation of several while I was a student (which was generally mediocre but had Tom Baker as Puddleglum), which brought them back to mind.
