The author discusses film representations of the life of C.S. Lewis – a famous English Christian writer. She also focuses on adaptations (that include books, television and cinema) of his most famous series The Chronicles of Narnia – series that for already sixty years have been published all over the world.
C.S. Lewis created several proverbs in his novel The Horse and His Boy. One of these has now become broadly used in English-speaking society. This article cites evidence that this new proverb is now being used in novels, poetry, short stories, blogs, and in giving advice. Wolfgang Mieder has noted that there are very few published studies about proverbs created in the last century, so this article fills this gap regarding this proverb. The focus of this article is on the growing use of this proverb, not on proverbs generally.
