The Narnia Money Trail

The Sunday Times online edition (UK) is running an excellent review of the business end of the Narnia properties. The big revelation of the story is, not surprisingly, that the family of Narnia creator C. S. Lewis doesn't stand to profit from the huge financial windfalls about to come from Narnia films and merchandizing. What's most interesting, though, is finding out what stake stepsons David and Douglas Gresham have in all of this, and the revelation that Douglas is at present in the hire of the owners of Lewis' intellectual property. What an odd thing business makes of art...

A very interesting and enlightening read.
