    Fantastic! Dr. Alice von Hildebrand never disappoints. Thanks for linking to it, Elena. =)

    When I was studying C.S. Lewis in uni, I had a lecturer who opined that the White Witch of The Chronicles of Narnia was a dream-imagery amalgam of both Mrs. Moore and Elizabeth Anscombe. (The way he ended the lecture, however, made it seem as if he had talked himself into laying most of the characterisation at Anscombe's feet.)

    I wrote a post on that lecture here:
