Who Are We?
The Silver Chair is really the Swait family, a sweet little group of six, all of whom are tall for their age, excepting Kimberly, the mother.
Joffre Sr. enjoys discussing poetry with rugby players, and pondering how to be meek and 6'9" at the same time.
Kimberly is a visual artist and also spends her time tending the wee little urban orchard of the Swait household, which includes fig, plum, and peach trees. She devotes a good deal of time to building The Silver Chair's collection of used children's books.
The Swait babies currently number four: Renata Ecclesia (age 6), Joffre David (age 5), George Wystan (age 3), and Ward Cristencynd (age 1). They star in the evening storytime narrated by their father, entitled "The Legend of the Seventeenth Baby". In this story they have already accounted for several giants and dragons. They have yet to discover that the king is really their father, and that he hopes they will soon be able to rescue the queen.
