I remember loving this book when I was younger, still have a copy on my bookshelf now. It's an intriguing story to say the least. The film has now been remade and I think it looks wonderful! Might not be everyones cup of tea, but have a watch and see what you think! Oh, and it does have the most delightful Colin Firth in it and lovely Ben Barnes, whom you may best know as Prince Caspian!
