Without taking too scholarly a tone, Brown breaks down The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe chapter-by-chapter. His discussion focuses on the literary (rather than theological or philosophical) aspects of the text. This is a good, accessible companion to the book.
Breaks down the Narnia chronicles and you'll learn all the whys and wherefores of the classic books.
Learn more about the book that started it all—The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe—and about its creator, C. S. Lewis. Discover how Professor Lewis first came to write his wonderful story about a magical land where it is always winter and never Christmas. Uncover the story-behind-the-story of how four children and a great lion named Aslan brought springtime back and rescued its inhabitants (beavers, fauns, and even centaurs) from the spell of the evil White Witch.
