Why He Wrote 'Narnia'C.S. Lewis "almost certainly did not want his readers to notice the resemblance of the Narnian theology to the Christian story," says biographer George Sayer. "His idea, as he once explained it to me, was to make it easier for children to accept Christianity when they met it later in life. He hoped that they would be vaguely reminded of the somewhat similar stories that they had read and enjoyed years before. [He told me,] 'I am aiming at a sort of pre-baptism of the child's imagination.'"
