Paths in the Snow

Paths in the Snow explores the literary echoes and allusions found in C.S. Lewis’ beloved novel, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Stories, myths, and literary texts played a central part in Lewis’ religious life: he was a professor of literature whose return to Christianity happened when he came to believe that the faith story it offered was a “true myth” created by God. Tracing the literary echoes and sources can help us venture in Lewis’ own mind-set, exploring the spiritual meanings of the magical world Narnia. Jem Bloomfield’s fascinating study proceeds chapter by chapter through The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, demonstrating a literary and spiritual depth to Narnia’s fantasy world which may not have been noticed at first reading
