Yes, I can understand that landscape inspiring both of them. Looks like pure Hobbit country. Can’t say about Narnia, confess I’ve never read those. Did read Lewis’s Out of the Silent Planet trilogy as a lad. The science-fiction elements attracted me. Read them again recently. Very odd.
Mentioning Goodall drove me to listen to his Inspired CD. Some great tunes on there – an even more tear-jerking version of the Blackadder and a charming, classical piano treatment of the silly dance number Tongue Tied from Red Dwarf.
