From Yahoo! News:

Warner Bros. Pictures has pre-emptively picked up the rights to "Here, There Be Dragons," an upcoming children's novel by James A. Owen.

The book brings together three strangers -- John, Jack and Charles -- in London during World War I, where they become entrusted with the Imaginarium Geographica, an atlas of all the lands that have ever existed in myth and legend, fable and fairy tale. They end up traveling to the Archipelago of Dreams, fighting the dark forces that threaten two worlds. It is later revealed that the three are future fantasy authors J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams, who met in real life at Oxford and enjoyed a competitive friendship.

Anyone else gonna buy this? It's one of the most interesting premises I've ever read. And yeah, it's a children's book, but oh well.

The rest at Y!
