Scholars have long searched for an underlying meaning to Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia. In Planet Narnia, Dr. Ward presents a scholarly and cogent argument that Lewis secretly based the series on the seven heavens of the medieval cosmos. In his review of Planet Narnia, Walter Hooper, literary adviser to the Lewis estate and author of C.S. Lewis, A Companion and Guide, writes, “No other book on Lewis has ever shown such comprehensive knowledge of his works and such depth of insight.”
