Author Philip Pullman has attacked plans to turn The Chronicles of Narnia into a movie series, calling CS Lewis' books "racist" and "misogynistic".
The first film in the series - The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - is due to be released in December.
His Dark Materials author Pullman said the 1950s stories were "reactionary".
"If the Disney corporation wants to market this film as a great Christian story, they'll just have to tell lies about it," he told The Observer.
