I have been reading C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia to our eldest daughter before bed during the past few months. Of course, I have read them many, many times before. This time, however, I had also been reading Richard Bushman’s biography of Joseph Smith, “Rough Stone Rolling.” Joseph Smith’s use of a Seer Stone in translating the Book of Mormon and receiving revelation is treated at some length in the biography.

So as I was reading Lewis’s fiction aloud, this time through I was pleasantly surprised to recognize a seer stone being used by one of the characters.
