C.S. Lews & Narnia

I’ve always enjoyed the Narnia books and am fascinated to see the publication of a new book on them - Planet Narnia by Michael Ward, an Anglican clergyman - which comes with glowing commendations for his hypothesis about the coherence of the seven volumes. To find out more, there is this short article by Ward introducing his theory with special reference to The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and a whole website and blog devoted to his book and its intriguing hypothesis that there is a secret imaginative scheme to the books based on the imagery of the seven heavens.

More widely there is also a new C.S. Lewis blog with some distinguished authors and interesting articles already online.
