Before this, the only CS Lewis I'd read was in my Philosophy of Religion course in college. When people would talk about the Christian symbolism in the Narnia books, I thought it would be more subtle than it is. It's not at all subtle, but I found the stories a pleasure to read. I look forward to sharing Narnia with my daughter when she's a little older; it will be a chance to combine a literature lesson, a religion lesson, and the fun of sharing a vivid fantasy world with her.
