AUTHOR CALLS NARNIA “RACIST”

The story opens: “To millions The Chronicles of Narnia are a childhood tale of wonder and triumph now made into a film that could inspire millions of children to read. To others, including the celebrated fantasy author Philip Pullman, they are stories of racism and thinly veiled religious propaganda that will corrupt children rather than inspiring them.”

Gee, forgiveness and atonement isn't in the book either? I gotta wonder if Philip Pullman even read the books. Nothing is more sad and pathetic than someone who won't read or listen before they criticize.

And I hate to see what he's going to say if my fantasy book ever gets published and becomes popular, as one of the main characters is a knight of the medieval church!
