The classified ads in newspapers are such handy things. Who do you call when you need a service? What job might someone look for? Where might you find affordable housing? How do you find a runaway? What might someone be willing to say in a personal note? And let’s not forget the all-important yard sales and auctions! The possibilities are endless… what do you suppose a Narnian might spot in a newspaper?
