This page needs a lot of condensing, particularly in terms of the descriptions of events in the books.

I removed the addition made in the last edit that said that Eustace's parents were possibly Mormon. My reasoning is:

• Though I couldn't find anything written by Lewis that stated how he felt about the Mormon faith and its adherents, Eustace's Parents seem to be at the opposite end of the spectrum. The Scrubb's are supposed to be as 'modern' as they come, while the common view of Mormons in the time frame that the book was written was that they were old fashioned to a fault. It is true that Mormons don't drink or smoke and do wear special underwear, but they do so for religious reasons which doesn't fit the image of the Scrubb family who don't show any signs of being religious.
• It's an assumption that can't be verified (I tried) and carries a lot of baggage with it (putting the Scrubbs in a category with any group of people is not flattering to that group of people at all).

Condensed the events on Dragon Isle. --Korvar The Fox 11:07, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
