Pouring single gallon bottles of stuff into a pool of 6 million gallons is not regular maintenance

The Narnia books get unfairly dismissed as children’s books, when in fact Lewis was paying homage to the medieval and Renaissance literature he taught and loved. The walled garden in The Magician’s Nephew is cribbed from the thirteenth-century poem The Romance of the Rose. The Lady of the Green Kirtle draws inspiration from the evil enchantresses in Spenser’s Faerie Queene; the green of her kirtle alludes to Thomas the Rhymer and Sir Gawain & the Green Knight. The whole series rings with echoes of Dante. Lewis was able to write a great work of literature because he had a mind utterly steeped in the classics.
