Features: In the 1930s, an unassuming tavern near Oxford University was often a gathering place for two elderly professors to chat and share their eccentric ideas, vowing to write a fantasy epic each. Many years later, this tavern became a sacred place in the hearts of countless readers, as it gave birth to two great works about faith and imagination: The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings. Since the late 1990s, a single mother named J.K. Rowling has almost written a new book about "Harry Potter" for her daughter every year. When asked how many books the series would ultimately be, Rowling replied that there would be seven. Because her mother had once read her a story about Narnia, and that set of books was seven: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, The Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, The Horse and His Boy, The Magician's Nephew, and The Last Battle.
