'This is a book that will delight all Narnians. Jem Bloomfield leads us on a charming yet erudite ramble through the land of Narnia, pointing out many of the literary and theological references Lewis wove consciously or unconsciously into his tale ... I read the book in one huge gulp and enjoyed every page of it.’ -- Katherine Langrish ‘Jem Bloomfield provides an insightful and interesting exploration of scriptural and literary echoes in the first Chronicle of Narnia. Always intelligent, often intriguing, and at times an arresting read.’ -- Michael Ward ‘This is a rich and rewarding book, an indispensable guide for anyone wanting to gain a deeper understanding of C. S. Lewis’ much-loved novel.' -- Eleanor Parker ‘Diligently researched and passionately argued, this literary re-reading of one of the best-loved children’s stories of the twentieth century is crammed with beguiling, often surprising, insights into the creation of the Land of Narnia.’ -- Brian Sibley
