Joy Through a Wardrobe

“Catchings provides the reader with a thoughtful collection of poems and essays to accompany The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. He skillfully explicates the jovial and saturnine elements of the story to help the reader achieve a deeper appreciation of Lewis’s art.”


—Zak Schmoll, Managing Editor, An Unexpected Journal





“An inventive and idiosyncratic take on Lewis’s most famous work. Donald Catchings provides a fresh way of enjoying the first of the Chronicles of Narnia.”


—Michael Ward, University of Oxford, author of Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C. S. Lewis





“Donald Catchings’s poetic and reflective companion to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is a useful resource for parents and teachers to help children draw out the spiritual insights of Lewis’s classic tale, and to model creative responses to literature.”


—Holly Ordway, author of Apologetics and the Christian Imagination





“The Chronicles’ Companion is such a delightful exploration of Narnian themes! Lovers of Lewis’ imaginative literature will particularly enjoy the poetry and the reflective insights it offers. I look forward to recommending the Companion to my students, colleagues, and friends.”
