I can see similarities in their works, and I also consider that they came from the same school, and were in the same group, right? Like all good friends, they probably bounced ideas off each other (my friends have helped me so much I will need lots of room for acknowledgements and dedications!). I, too, missed the allegorical part of Narnia (what? Allegory? huh?), and see how Narnia and ME have some similarities, but just some. ME is decidedly darker and more "adult", if I can be excused for saying so. Let's face it, Sauron is WAY scarier than the White Witch! And as for Ents being compared to dryads, I don't really think so. Apart from the tree thing, I mean.
