Last July, Aslan's Country had the opportunity to interview Michael Ward, a C.S. Lewis scholar. Dr. Ward has recently discovered what he calls a “genuine literary secret” to the Chronicles of Narnia. The secret is this “third layer” to the Chronicles.

The first layer, as he explains, is the story layer—the magical fairytale that everyone sees. The second layer is the Christianity layer—the biblical parallels that are very clear in three of the Narnia books. The third layer, as he has discovered, is that each of the seven books in the series corresponds to one of the seven planets in medieval cosmology—something that Lewis was an expert on.
