Narnia on a different planet?

Please don't close the door behind you.

Although the giant wave in front of Aslan's country is a pretty darn big obstacle to circumnavigation.

King Ferdinand knew the world was round. That had been known for many generations before Columbus sailed on his journey. The difference was that Columbus thought it was a great deal smaller than it is.

Why can't the country and the planet both be called Narnia? Like New York, New York; or the United States of America on the North American Continent?

"But if the Witch could have looked a little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who has committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards." - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

How very timely - just published today: Planet Narnia by Michael Ward (OUP USA) (I tried to get the cover image, but it wouldn't work).

I have erected my castle of skepticism, but perhaps (like Alan Jacobs) I'll have the castle gradually demolished as I read Ward's arguments.

It'll be on my doorstep about four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I was skeptical waaay back when I first heard the idea, but having read the Space Trilogy several times, The Discarded Image, and (just this week) the Chronicles again (after something like ten or fifteen years!), I'm convinced without having even seen the book. I think the book will just be filling in stuff I missed. :-)
