1. The Polar Express was written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg and it was published by Houghton Mifflin in 1985.

Van Allsburg evokes such a vivid visual world through is text and visuals. He uses great metaphors and similes such as “the train is wrapped…

All 7 of the Narnia books were in my closet. The Harry Potter books hadn’t even all came out yet. I hate starting a series when all the books aren’t out yet. When I have to wait for the next book in a series to come out, I find that I lose interest. That’s not because…

Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, and Allegory of Love. Even though C.S Lewis wrote amazing books his greatest accomplishment was accepting Christ as his savior. With the help of his biblical knowledge, C.S. Lewis wrote the well-known Chronicles of Narnia.

It can be traced to stories and songs which were part of the oral tradition that adults shared with their children before the advent of publication. The development of children literature is difficult to trace. However, from the 15th century AD, a large volume of literature, often with a religious or moral message, has been targeted specifically at children.

He hated the school…

I picked up this book because it was recommended to me as very funny and, having been a huge fan of The Chronicles of Narnia as a child, I wanted to read an example of C.S. Lewis's overt literary argument for Christianity. I thought I might find a Christian counterpoint to Twain's Letters from the Earth. I'm afraid I was somewhat disappointed. The Screwtape Letters is an epistolary novel with the central conceit being that C.S. Lewis has recovered letters of advice that a Demon from the depths…

very surprised that many reviewers saw the christian theology in his book Out of the Silents Planet. He was shocked to discover that the Gospel could be smuggled into people’s mind through his fiction. One of his famous work of fiction, The Chronicles of Narnia has Christian theology woven through the story.
