   Mr Pullman's comments on Narnia give the distinct impression os sour grapes.   
      
   He'd do better trying to improve his own writing than denigrating that of   
   other people. C.S. Lewis was a far better literary critic than Pullman, and I   
   suspect would have seen some merit in Pullman's work.
