Wars and Rumors of War
War, war, and more war. "Boring!" you might say. However, taking a look back at what was happening in the real world helps us to understand why Lewis wrote The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. We know it may not be the most interesting subject, but it will help you to better understand how history plays a part in the lives of the Pevensie children, even if it doesn't explain how to conquer the White Witch. This link is reproduced from BBCbroadcasts Lewis did during WWII. We found it interesting to listen to Lewis's personal take on such an enormous event in history.
