C.S. Lewis Experts Offer Intriguing Backstory to Prince Caspian


Fans of Disney's blockbuster movie The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will be able to return to Narnia on May 16 with the release of Prince Caspian. Just as theatre-goers have come to expect dazzling special effects and record-setting ticket sales, the media can expect new debates surrounding the allegorical imagery and true meanings of Lewis's message behind the story. InterVarsity Press's new book A Reader's Guide to Caspian, written by Lewis experts Leland Ryken and Marjorie Lamp Mead, addresses many of the questions and issues surrounding this film and the man who created the world of Narnia, including


  • Why did Lewis deny that the Narnia stories are allegorical?
  • What mythological characters are present in Caspian?
  • How do biblical stories and themes intersect with Caspian?
  • How did Lewis's faith affect his story-telling?

Also included in A Reader's Guide to Caspian:

  • Critical views of the religious themes in Prince Caspian
  • Appendix offering critiques of Disney's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005)
