Seeking Tumnus

Join us this episode in Enid Blyton's Enchanted Wood. We forage a little deeper to see if this children's favourite and sales juggernaut is of sufficient sustenance for the Tumnus crew.

We also seek the balance between acceptable modernisation and losing the essence, discuss responsible parenting and Pat throws his hat in the ring in the controversial field of young adult fiction related relationship advice.

The Seeking Tumnus crew enter the arena this episode as we take on the Suzanne Collins epic, The Hunger Games. Flirting with controversy we look into possible inspirations for the content of this dystopian tale, turning our attention to a Japanese book-cum-movie with suspiciously similar themes. Is the violence suitable for children? Does this hugely popular novel hold up to our scrutiny? Would we survive in the arena ourselves? Join us to find out. This episode is for everyone and contains no explicit content.

In this episode we control the fate of the hero ourselves as we pick up one of the many Choose Your Own Adventure books. Fair warning, this episode contains explicit language, disturbing themes and some of the worst accents you're likely to ever hear.

In episode two we delve into the Ranger's Apprentice series by Australian author John Flanagan. Book one of the series The Ruins of Gorlan is cause for some contentious discussion around bullying and the nature of justice.

In this our premier episode we explore Roald Dahl's seminal classic tale The Witches. In doing so we also take a somewhat critical peek at the cinematic adaptation.
