What inspired C.S. Lewis to write Chronicles of Narnia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are several inspirations for the Chronicles of Narnia the first being an image Lewis had stuck in his head and doodled down from when he was young. The image was of a faun carrying parcels in the snowy woods, the image stayed with him all through life and one day he decided to make a story with it.

Also during World War II Lewis opened his home to refuges, the Kilns. One of the children were fascinated by a wardrobe and imagined there being another world inside it. The idea inspired Lewis and probably reminded him of another book he read as a boy with a magical wardrobe, The Aunt and Anabel by Edith Nesbit.

Some also say that one of the children was named Lucy and this little girl became close to Lewis. But she became ill at a young age and so Lewis wrote The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to entertain Lucy.

And of course one of most known inspirations is Lewis's faith. Lewis was a Christian and every book about Narnia is an analogy from The Bible. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe retell the story of the redemption of man as Aslan who represents Jesus gives himself over to the White Witch, Satan, as a sacrifice to free Edmund who represents the sinner. One explanation Lewis gave is to some 5th graders in Maryland in the form of a letter, "I said, 'Let us suppose that there were a land like Narnia and that [Jesus], as he became a Man in our world, became a Lion there, and then imagine what would happen.'"

Did football team did C.S. Lewis like?

Asked by Wiki User

He liked Birmingham.

I don't know if CS Lewis had any football teams in mind. He lived in Britain, I believe, which means football was not one of their main sports, like it is here in America. Your question should probably be, "What cricket team did CS Lewis like?" :)
