THE NARNIA CODE
C.S. Lewis and the secret of the seven heavens
By Michael Ward. Paternoster. 193 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978-1-84227-722-5

Don’t judge this book by its title. The Narnia Code is far more subtle and persuasive than its name might suggest.

The author writes: ‘The idea of secret codes usually makes people roll their eyes in disbelief — quite rightly too in most cases. When someone claims to have found a hidden code, it nearly always turns out to be a lot of nonsense’. It was with this sceptical view that I approached the book, and I was surprised by what I read.
