As if the scholarly and popular appetite for new books on C.S. Lewis and his works knows no bounds, Baker Books has brought out nothing less than a full-length literary analysis of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe—just in time for Christmas and the upcoming movie.
While the book’s subtitle bills it as “A Guide to Exploring The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” if you substitute the word “guide” with “commentary,” you’ll have a much better idea of what Inside Narnia is all about. In true CSI fashion, author Devin Brown dusts for fingerprints and shines his ultraviolet light into every nook and cranny of Narnia seeking clues that will deepen our appreciation of Lewis’s best-loved book. Ever wonder who Lucy is and why Lewis dedicated this book to her? Look no further. Ever wonder why Lewis chose beavers as the first talking animals the children encounter in Narnia? Wonder no more. And if you’ve ever been puzzled by the appearance of Father Christmas in this story, don’t worry, Brown offers an opinion on this and dozens of other major and minor details as well.
