Melbourne, December 1: The theme of C. S. Lewis’ ‘The Chronicles of Narnia’ is based on the seven planets forming the heavens in medieval astrology, says a scholar whose theory has been examined in a BBC documentary.
The theory, proposed by Reverend Dr Michael Ward, has come after more than 50 years of literary and theological speculation arguing whether Lewis formed the classic children literature bearing a particular pattern in mind or painted his characters and incidents randomly, reports the Daily Telegraph.
