A Guide to Exploring The Lion, the Witch and the WardrobeDevin Brown’s Inside Narnia (Baker Books, 2005) is a great companion piece to C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Bookstore shelves were full of Narnia-help books leading up to the release of the film in December 2005. Once the hoopla over the film subsided, many of the Narnia companion books went straight to the Bargain sections. That’s where I found Inside Narnia.

But I must admit, this book is worth more than I paid for it. Devin Brown takes the reader through The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, offering fascinating information about the influences on Lewis’ thought. He delves into the biblical parallels, inconsistencies between Narnia books, and he often writes about Lewis’ own philosophy of writing for children.

Inside Narnia is a must-have for all serious Narnia fans. Brown’s research reinforced the reasons why I fell in love with Narnia as a child and why the fantasy world continues to intrigue me today. If you choose one Narnia companion book out of the Bargain bin, make sure it’s this one.
