We’re back with another deep dive into Narnia. This time, Dr. Scott Masson takes a look at C.S. Lewis’s The Silver Chair.
Description of the lecture by Dr. Scott Masson
C.S. Lewis’s The Silver Chair is an excellent adventure story with many matters of keen interest to Lewis. I read it in the light of the concerns expressed in The Abolition of Man, as a corrective to the deficiencies of public education.
