The Lamppost of Narnia
“Fiat lux”
My piece is a prompt provided by a most brilliant and thought-provoking piece from Sadie Seroxcat
It is a prompt not from her actual prompt for the month of December but from the very starting point of her illuminating piece and the very immediate connection I made with just that — the ‘Lamppost’.
“My Dear Lucy,
I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say but I shall still be
your affectionate Godfather,
C. S. Lewis”
— dedication to LLW
For me, there can be only one Lamppost. The lamppost that is found in Narnia.
