⧫ A deep dive into The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis ⧫ 

Welcome, Bookwyrms! This rigorous, engaging, slow-reading course is designed for eager adults from a variety of backgrounds who love books and long to dig into their favorite texts. And now you can own the lecture-discussions from the first run of this class!

Just as readers step into an unknown world each time they open a new book, so Lucy Pevensie steps into Narnia when she opens the Wardrobe in the Spare Room. Come along with her as I guide you through The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis.

In this course, I explore the book’s historical context; its classic archetypes; some of the source texts from which it draws; how it portrays addiction, betrayal, and restoration; what perspective the narrator offers; how it dramatizes theological points; what timeless virtues animate its characters and plot; and how it interacts with real-world mythology. Through a lively combination of lecture, discussion, and close reading, I’ll accompany you on an adventurous look at this children’s tale as we ask what makes it worth re-reading as an adult and whether it provides a map for making meaning in our own lives.

Come, enter Narnia with me!
