From the publisher:
Further Up & Further In: Understanding Narnia by acclaimed author Joseph Pearce invites readers to return with the eyes of an adult to C. S. Lewis’s magical land entered through that most important wardrobe in literary history.
Beloved by generations of readers, The Chronicles of Narnia are thought erroneously by some to be “mere children’s stories.” In this volume, Pearce thoroughly debunks the error as he skillfully explains why there is nothing “mere” about such stories. Rather, the Narnia books contain profound insights concerning the human condition. Pearce, however, goes beyond even that and illuminates the deeper riches and profound truths found therein—the highest truths, in fact: those concerning God.
