- 1123581321 6y agoExcellent article; thank you. Tina’s moment of validation in college must have been absolutely jolting. Regarding the title’s play on words: Charn is a ruined ancient world in the Chrinicles of Narnia itself, depicted in The Magician’s Nephew. Lewis likely descended Charn etymologically from the same origin as carnal, whereas Charn- in Charnwood references a Scottish cairn, or rock tower.
