About the Book

In this interactive, informative book, Lewis scholar Majorie Lamp Mead and literary expert Leland Ryken unlock the door to The Lion, The Witch and The Wardobe, inviting you to step inside - deeper and deeper, past the musty fur coats - and gaze in wide-eyed wonder once again at the magical, wintery world Lucy first found. // A Reader's Guild Through the Wardrobe helps you examine the story from Lewis's point of view, shedding light on his imagination and use of literary forms. Even further, Mead and Ryken serve as guides through this first Narnia adventure, providing an inside look at characters, settings and framework. Here is a book that will help you see Narnia as Lucy did - with childlike wonder and anticipation for the adventure that lies ahead.

Review :
"A Reader's Guide Through the Wardrobe is that rare achievement: a literary guidebook that does not talk down to readers. It offers readable, informative help to adults who want to enjoy, understand and appreciate The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe fully as a literary work, not as a religious parable. Through detailed attention to structure, genres, techniques, and themes, it shows how to read not just LWW but all works of fiction with sensitivity and insight." -- "Peter Schakel, author of Approaching Literature in the 21st Century" "A practical guide to an adult reading of C. S. Lewis' classic without losing the wonder of a child. It is informative, wise, inspiring, and rich with insights into the kind of receptive reading that Lewis passionately encouraged. Not only does this Reader's Guide show the way into Narnia, but also into great literature, and the inexhaustible nourishment that great books provide." -- "Colin Duriez, author of A Field Guide to Narnia, The C. S. Lewis Encyclopedia and Tolkien and C. S. Lewis: The Gift of Friendship" "This Reader's Guide is the most thorough literary study of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe that I have ever read. It is a must for every serious student of Lewis's first Narnian Chronicle and a gateway to the entire series." -- "Dr. Paul F. Ford, author of Companion to Narnia and Pocket Companion to Narnia" "This thorough, informative guide approaches C. S. Lewis' classic story the way Lewis himself read literary texts. It shows readers how to fully engage the narrative as thoughtful adults, while retaining a child's sense of wonder and delight." -- "David C. Downing, author of The Most Reluctant Convert and Into the Wardrobe"
