S. Lewis's famed Chronicles of Narnia, but why? What is it about these seven books that makes them so appealing? For more than half a century, scholars have attempted to find the organizing key—the "secret code"—to the beloved series, but it has remained a mystery. Until now. In The Narnia Code, Michael Ward takes the reader through each of the seven Narnia books and reveals how each story embodies and expresses the characteristics of one of the seven planets of medieval cosmology—Jupiter, Mars, Sol, Luna, Mercury, Venus and Saturn—planets which Lewis described as "spiritual symbols of permanent value." How does medieval cosmology relate to the Christian underpinnings of the series? How did it impact Lewis's depiction of Aslan, the Christlike character at the heart of the books? And why did Lewis keep this planetary inspiration a secret? Originally a ground-breaking scholarly work called Planet Narnia, this more accessible adaptation will answer all the questions.

lewis is great. narnia blew my mind when i was six 1964. i used to climb into wardrobes wanted so much to get to narnia. ive carried this story for all these years wondering and anylising. aslan did the great man really mean islam. but formost i now believe it was not a wardrobe that lucy got into but a coffin. you see you dont get to break out of thse set of physics any oher way. the only way for lucy to jump parralel universes was to leave her body. she made this journey several times but at the end could not return to earth and back into her body and so was confined to narnia. wardrobe or coffin of sorts whats the difference. and by the way i know about the tree and prince caspian

I think you pretty much just judged your self.

What make Narnia great is that it is built on themes rather than preaching. Newsflash to any Christians watching this video, people respond better to themes than preaching. The only reason kids want to go to mass is because they hope to see Aslan. That's why C.S Lewis is one of the few christian authors I can stand.

Great book. It shouldn't have been renamed 'The Narnia Code' though. I was put off for the longest time, thinking it was some kind of Da Vanci Code-style nonsense. I was surprised at how well thought out it is.
