I had read and enjoyed the Narnia books as a child. I then saw a dramatised version on television in my early teens and spluttered "What? Aslan is like Jesus!", at which point my mother said the equivalent of "well, yes, duh!" and I was extremely cross at not having noticed before/having been tricked by the author.
But despite a Church of England childhood, I didn't pick up on it from reading the books. I had to *see* it to notice it.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
