The Silver Chair

February 16, 2026 by Daniel Dignan Leave a Comment

While trying to escape school bullies, Eustace finds himself in Narnia once again, along with a friend, Jill. The great lion, Aslan, had called them and assigned them a mission to find a lost prince. To guide them, he gives four signs that they must follow at all costs. As they begin, they meet an unlikely guide who lives in a marshland and helps them form a plan. However, Eustace and Jill’s forgetfulness puts them in grave danger.

After a brave escape, they find themselves in an underworld surrounded by earthmen who take them to a dark knight and an evil enchantress. Deception is thick, but their guide encourages them to remember and follow Aslan’s instructions.

The Light Princess

February 7, 2026 by Daniel Dignan Leave a Comment

A short, funny, and, toward the end, serious story about a princess who loses her gravity, floating when pushed or thrown. Her parents, the King and Queen, don’t know what to do, though their daughter does not seem to mind, laughing constantly and never taking anything seriously.

Eventually, she discovers freedom, joy, and safety in a lake, where she swims day and night, summer and winter. One day, a prince finds her and does something kind that changes her life forever, but at great personal cost.

The Light Princess is a love story that is both entertaining and serious, helping one think about the Bible’s story.
