A work colleague (who is a truly epic guy and person in general) recommended I read this just for a deeper feel for Narnia and Lewis in general.

It turns out that it is 80%, 'An Idiot's Guide to Barnia' - it was okay, but Walter Hooper was largely getting a little too excitable. If anything, it was interesting to flesh out my understanding of Lewis' ideologies and how it shaped his views of the world (even if I think most of it was a little on the belligerent side).

I know I read this book when I bought it (probably just after the last time I re-read the Narnia books)and it must have been interesting, useful or entertaining given that I kept it, but I can't remember any details.

Now Mount Toobie is so high that a re-read is unlikely, I desperately need a clear out, and it so happens I've had a call for religious books so it's time to send it travelling. I've therefore registered it on Bookcrossing and thought I might as well note it on here too.
