I am officially in Narnia.
So in today’s Azerbaijani language lesson, we discovered (by total accident) that there are a shocking number of Azerbaijani references in C.S. Lewis’ famous Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. For starters the word for lion in Azeri is “aslan”; there is a reference to Turkish delight; there is a Prince Caspian (Azerbaijan borders the Caspian Sea); and there is an island named Nargin. Possibly a coincidence, but I’m certainly looking forward to reading it again and looking for clues.
