The wonder of opening a book feels very similar to the experience of opening a wardrobe door and finding oneself in another world. Stories told to children as they prepare for bed act also as vehicles for transportation of imagination, and when the book opens, a journey begins. When C. Lewis wrote his seven-part series for children, The Chronicles of Narnia , he realized that not only the children in on Earth going to read the stories, but children in future generations of Narnia will also enjoy the stories as they pass down. In the seven books that make up The Chronicles of Narnia , Lewis creates a viable mythology that stands alone according to his standards, passed down through oral, prophetic, and natural means. Lewis did many scholarly studies on mythology and had definitive ideas of what made a myth and what did not. Therefore, in determining that Lewis wrote a complete and viable mythology that lives inside Narnia and affects its people, those specific characteristics all must pertain to the Narnian stories and determined fit within the stories and their world.
