[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8302320, member: 11760"] The fairy realm is not-Narnia. Basically, the Magicians storyline, in both TV and the books, is "what if Narnia was real?" For legal reasons, the Wood Between the Worlds becomes an empty Italian Renaissance city with infinite piazzas filled with magical fountains that are portals to other worlds. Early on, Grossman actually wanted to use the Wood Between the Worlds, but the current Lewis estate is highly litigious and very mercenary. ("Let's put out a new edition in chronological order, rather than publication order, and pretend that the old man wanted it that way all along and, whoops, what a coincidence, the guy who rammed this through gets a big cut of the new proceeds ...") In the book, the Narnia stuff is a gateway to talking about the disillusionment of adulthood after the promises made in high school and college. In the TV show, it's about being sexy on a very limited budget. [/QUOTE]
