Some really good essays in here about the underlying content of the Narnia books. They seem to be divided pretty evenly in addressing issues brought up intentionally by Lewis and issues derrived from those issues. Topics focused mainly on ethics/morality, though there was a good deal of anthropology and theology tossed in for good measure. All in all, a fair analysis of Narnia and its inhabitants. I would give it five stars if there weren't a few stinker essays; one on feminism, one on the salvation of animals and one on morality that just wasn't put together very well.
