    Pulling the pin and lobbing this out into Twitter: Is C.S. Lewis'
    time as a canonical #MGLit writer over? I mean, I bought the
    paperback boxed set back in 1978, but I weeded the CHRONICLES three
    years ago and no one has asked for them.

    Would that make them "banned books" in the USA?

    Do you know any kids in the 9-12 age group who have enjoyed reading
    them, or have they passed their sell-by date?
