Fundamental Purpose of Chronicles of Narnia?
Interesting quote:
John J. Miller on The Chronicles of Narnia on National Review Online: "That's because the fundamental purpose of the Narnia stories is to convey the reality of Christian truth — a project that became Lewis's lifework following his conversion in 1931, after his friends Hugo Dyson and J. R. R. Tolkien convinced him of it during a nighttime walk. Lewis spent the next 15 years or so giving the lectures and writing the books that would make him the 20th century's most famous Christian apologist (Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, etc.). Then, in 1949, he began writing the Narnia stories in earnest, adding to his reputation."
