Narnia Star William Moseley Reads Passages from C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles on ‘The Queen’s Reading Room’

The Chronicles of Narnia star William Moseley recently appeared on The Queen’s Reading Room, a book club and charity formed by Queen Camilla, to celebrate the life and works of C.S. Lewis.

In the hour-long discussion, Moseley is joined with Prof. Simon Horobin of Oxford and authors Susanna Clarke and Jessie Burton, with topics ranging from their first experiences with Narnia as children to the impact that Lewis’s stories have had on their lives, as well as Moseley’s experiences as an actor in the film series.

Moseley also reads two passages from The Chronicles of Narnia: when the Pevensies first meet Mr. Beaver and hear Aslan’s name in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and the when Peter devises a plan to challenge Miraz to single combat in Prince Caspian.

Jessie Burton and Susanna Clarke also read selections from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Magician’s Nephew.

This past year, Moseley has said that he doubts he will appear in Greta Gerwig’s upcoming Narnia adaptation, but the 37-year-old actor has shared hopes that he and his other Narnia co-stars will have an opportunity to tour the set and revisit the magic.

    I wish he had continued the Prince Caspian scene to where Peter dictates the letter to Doctor Cornelius! Love that part.
