Dragged at times, but worth a look, ( )

I think this was published prior to _The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe_, or at least at about the same time. It's not likely that Buck ever read Lewis' novel, but _Kinfolk_ and _LWW_ have unexpectedly much in common. It begins with the "Four Children" of both -- note how disconcertingly similar each of them are (James and Mary relative to Peter and Susan especially) -- and it sort of goes on from there. I think it's just a coincidence, but it's one of the stranger ones. What would Carl Jung have to say about this, I wonder...? ( )
