Into Narnia
A short plot synopsis of C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Genesis of a Story
Lewis tells us that his Narnia books began with a picture, one that had long remained in his mind, and which eventually impelled him to write, not one book, but seven.

Unexpected Places
The house in Lewis’s Narnia stories is a place where children (and readers) enter into surprising realms of possibility.

The Lion Messiah
Lewis...resolved to write stories that would...strip away false and mandatory piety and leave the story of God’s sacrificial love in a wild and persuasive new guise, galloping with real momentum through fields of imagination.

Lewis’s figure of snow melting is a good one, I think, to suggest how a person’s long coldness of heart may be changed, bit by bit, into a warmer, living heart for God.

C.S. Lewis would never have described himself as a mystic. Even so he yearned for and may have experienced the vision of God.
