Bryce Wilson asked Francis Spufford:

Would you ever consider reworking The Stone Table into a less -erm, recognizable form?

Francis Spufford Bryce, hello. I’ve thought about this - thought about it a lot, for obvious reasons - and the conclusion I’ve kept coming to is that it wouldn’t work. I wasn’t incidentally using the places and persons that constitute the difficulty. They were the point, the reason why I was doing it. And what I devised was shaped the way it was shaped as a story in order to fit into a very exact space defined by the existing books. So I can’t move it to another kingdom containing another lion. I’m afraid we’ll just have to wait in hope.

Michael Burt asked Francis Spufford:

Hello. I am having a Narnia day today and have reached the part in LWW where the stone table is mentioned for the first time. Since I learned about your book, The Stone Table, I've wanted to read it so much. Please may I ask if you have sought permission to publish and have been refused, or will you wait until Narnia becomes public property?

Kate Gladstone asked Francis Spufford:

Seven months ago, you wrote here that the “the situation“ (regarding THE STONE TABLE) “does seem to be changing very slightly and slowly”: by now, can you perhaps provide further details?
