What I learned in Narnia is a significant entry to all the books about Narnia. It emphasizes the fact that Narnia is a set of books to be enjoyed by all, but intended to instruct children, though certainly didactic. This book is not a guidebook through the series though one can gain insight to the series by reading the book. Instead it categorizes the themes that Lewis presents and shows what we are taught through the series. This book should be read by fathers to encourage them to read the Narnia books to their families.
