[thelionscall] Joy in Narnia

Lewis fell in love with faerie tales at a very early age. His best
friends were people who he found also loved the myths and faerie tales
of long ago. What Lewis loved about them most of all was a sense of
longing that they triggered in him. There is a longing in every human
that no earthly pleasure can satisfy. The enchantment of those faerie
tales intensified that longing in Lewis. His word for that longing
was "joy". Lewis wanted to reproduce that feeling of joy for others in
the Narnia books. And I'd say he succeeded.

Have you ever felt that joy while reading the Narnia stories? The
longing to be in Narnia is just a part of it. The stories never
completely satisfy. We are left longing for more of Narnia, more
adventure, and more of Aslan.
