of
Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis:
"Simply remarkable! To say that CS Lewis’s Narnia is without structure or literary excellence is rubbish and nonsense. This books presents beautifully the music of the spheres, that ancient cosmology and astrology that fascinated Lewis his whole life."

“I find I’m so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it’s the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope I can make it across the border. I hope to see my friend and shake his hand. I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope...”

“Religion comes from a Latin root meaning “to bind,” referring to the bond of obedience that characterizes the life of a member of a religious order. By extension, religion can be thought of as a bond of unity, as a process that “re-ligaments” or “re-ligatures,” tying disparate things back together into one, integrating diverse viewpoints.”

“One of his closest friends, Owen Barfield, once said of Lewis that “what he thought about everything was secretly present in what he said about anything.”12”

“No doubt chivalry is a failure, but it is not such a failure as pacifism. Wars (even just wars) inevitably involve evil, but not so much evil as is involved in passively allowing aggressors to have their way.”

“Even the chess piece discovered at the start of the story is a chess-knight.”
