Writers get welcome protection through copyright and trademark law, but the system is a mess. Francis Spufford’s fan-fiction Narnia novel brings fresh impetus to reform

Francis Spufford has written a new Narnia novel: The Stone Table, set between the events of The Magician’s Nephew and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I’ve read it and it’s marvellous – unsurprisingly, since Spufford of one of the best writers working today. But you’ll have to take my word on that. CS Lewis’s work remains in copyright, so unless Spufford can come to some agreement with Lewis’s estate the earliest he’d be able to publish it is 2034.
