Chapter 12 of The Magician&#8217;s Nephew opens with one of the most emotional scenes in The Chronicles of Narnia. Listen to our discussion and post a comment.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
The tawny face was bent down near his own and (wonder of wonders) great shining tears stood in the Lion’s eyes. They were such big, bright tears compared with Digory’s own that for a moment he felt as if the Lion must really be sorrier about his Mother than he was himself.



“My son, my son,” said Aslan. “I know. Grief is great. Only you and I in this land know that yet.”

<a href="https://www.narniaweb.com/2024/02/greta-gerwig-on-c-s-lewis-narnia-and-re-enchanting-the-world/">According to Time Magazine</a>, Greta Gerwig is working on a new adaptation of &#8220;the first book&#8221; in The Chronicles of Narnia&#8230; which, considering the controversy surrounding the <a href="https://www.narniaweb.com/books/readingorder/">Narnia reading order</a>, offered no clarity for fans about what to expect. That said, there is still much to discuss:



<ul>
<li>Which book Netflix will/should start with</li>



<li>Netflix CEO calling Gerwig&#8217;s vision is &#8220;bigger and bolder&#8221;</li>



<li>Gerwig referencing C.S. Lewis essay</li>
