Summary

On this episode of Close Reads, Angelina, Tim, and David discuss C.S. Lewis's classic, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and it's victory in our Great Books Bracket this spring.

Topics include:

Why the Narnia stories have maintained their reputation for so long
The differences in reading it for the first time as a child as opposed to as an adult
Which Narnia book should be read first
Lewis's philosophies on reading
and more...

Plus, they kick the show off by discussing how to know if dislike of a book is because of the book itself or because of the reader.

This episode is brought to by our friends at Roman Roads Media, purveyors of the Old Western Culture series, featuring Wes Callihan.
