"I have long wished to find a way to understand the dismissive attitude of Tolkien to Lewis' Narnian Chronicles. They are two favorite authors, made even more interesting by their personal relatonship and influences upon one another. While I spent the"

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"

Abi Gross's review
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."

“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.”
