Inside "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe": Myths, Mysteries, and Magic from the Chronicles of Narnia

If you read (and loved) THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE, but found yourself confused about some of the terms, creatures, or metaphors in the book, this book offers helpful information. For example, perhaps you've wondered what Turkish delight is, why Lucy and Susan were called "daughters of Eve," or the difference between a sledge and a sleigh. Beyond that, it is an informative look at C. S. Lewis--his childhood, faith, wartime experiences, and the authors who influenced him (E. Nesbitt, Kenneth Grahame, Beatrix Potter--to name a few). The book contains a logic puzzle, quizzes ("Which Pevensie Are You Most Like?"; a quiz on beavers, "Chillin' Like a Villain Quiz") rainy-day games, Narnia-theme party ideas, and book study questions for reading groups. Most of all, the engaging, somewhat irreverent tone will keep you turning pages. And the picture of the cat dressed as Aslan is hilarious!
