A guide for those who dream of returning to Narnia. A fascinating exploration of how Lewis's seven books combine classical gods, biblical stories, and the author's imagination.

Why does Bacchus feast in a Christian tale? What does the kindly faun Tumnus have in common with the forest deities of antiquity? Why does Professor Kirke argue with children like Socrates? Centaurs, dryads, giants, and unicorns came to Narnia from Greek and Scandinavian myths and medieval legends, and the history of this magical land begins with the creation of the world, as in the Book of Genesis, and ends with the Apocalypse.

This book will be the key to a land you thought you knew by heart. It is addressed to anyone who grew up with the Chronicles of Narnia, wants to rediscover them, and is ready to delve deeper to discover the structure of their myths, symbols, and hidden meanings.
