• “A Reader's Guide Through the Wardrobe is that rare achievement: a literary guidebook that does not talk down to readers. It offers readable, informative help to adults who want to enjoy, understand and appreciate The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe fully as a literary work, not as a religious parable. Through detailed attention to structure, genres, techniques, and themes, it shows how to read not just LWW but all works of fiction with sensitivity and insight.”
