Story
The year is 2021. No child has been born for twenty-five years. The human race faces extinction. Under the despotic rule of Xan Lyppiat, the Warden of England, the old are despairing and the young cruel. Theo Faren, a cousin of the Warden, lives a solitary life in this ominous atmosphere. That is, until a chance encounter with a young woman leads him into contact with a group of dissenters. Suddenly his life is changed irrevocably as he faces agonising choices which could affect the future of mankind.

Story
For over half a century, scholars have labored to show that C. S. Lewis' famed but apparently disorganized Chronicles of Narnia have an underlying symbolic coherence, pointing to such possible unifying themes as the seven sacraments, the seven deadly sins, and the seven books of Spenser's Faerie Queene. None of these explanations has won general acceptance, and the structure of Narnia's symbolism has remained a mystery.

Well researched, persuasive
Reviewed: 06-29-24
This book is a fascinating study on the foundational literary themes of Lewis's Narniad. Michael Ward's exhaustive research and compelling arguments make a persuasive case for the fact that Lewis based each of his 7 Narnia books on one of the 7 medieval planets (and their legendary qualities/elements/etc). Excellent and intriguing!
