I had already basically made up my mind on this. A thorough examination of my memories of reading the books as a child revealed that I didn't really enjoy them at the time, even before I knew of the Christian undertones. (If they can be called undertones, I haven't read them since I was, I'd guess, 9 or 10, from what I've read recently they're basically right out in front.) That being said, after reading this article my decision was sealed.
Gresham and his wife, Merrie, now live in a big house in Ireland, where they run a Christian ministry that specialises in healing the trauma caused by abortion, which they believe is infanticide inspired by Satan....
So, just one last question. Is it true that he stands to make an enormous amount of money from the film of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe?
The microscopically trimmed moustache stretches into a smile. "Mind your own business," he says.
So, basically, going to see the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe puts money into the pockets of someone who believes abortions are inspired by Satan. Yeah, I'll pass.
