Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis:
"This was a little mind bending to me. I remember reading a criticism of The Wasteland for some Lit class and this had the same vibe. So detailed and interesting! I had never heard of the cosmology thread connecting the Chronicles of Narnia. It made s"

The Narnia Code: C. S. Lewis and the Secret of the Seven Heavens:
"By Jove! I’ve been thoroughly convinced. If you’ve enjoyed The Chronicles of Narnia since childhood and even into adulthood, then you MUST read this book. The author does an incredible job of explaining the secret code behind each seven books written"

of
The Narnia Code: C. S. Lewis and the Secret of the Seven Heavens:
"I read this as a teen and want to read it again. It’s short and very insightful into why and how CS Lewis wrote his Narnia books. Now that I understand the books better I think it would be helpful to reread it again to see if I glean additional info."

of
The Narnia Code: C. S. Lewis and the Secret of the Seven Heavens:
"I have always been a fan of Lewis. His writing is entertaining and filled with deep truths. But I've never caught on to any specific atmosphere in the Chronicles. They were always just stories.
When I read the Ransom Trilogy, the first thing I felt w" Read more of this review » |

“One of his closest friends, Owen Barfield, once said of Lewis that “what he thought about everything was secretly present in what he said about anything.”12”

“No doubt chivalry is a failure, but it is not such a failure as pacifism. Wars (even just wars) inevitably involve evil, but not so much evil as is involved in passively allowing aggressors to have their way.”
― Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis

“However politically desirable a republic might be, it remains unable to compete imaginatively with monarchy because monarchy in principle more completely mirrors the nature of divine authority. One of the great imaginative advantages of the genre of fairy-tale or romance is to allow for the presentation of such a principle. In fairy-tale the author can leave behind the shallows of the ‘realistic’ novel, and is free to show the reader something better than mundane norms. What might it be like if human kings really did exhibit perfect kingship? The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe attempts an answer.”
