* Website

* Description
This is a fun course, an attempt to gently introduce younger readers to some of the nuances of literary discourse through familiar Christian books. We will assume that all students enrolling have already read the Narnia books in their entirety.
* Meetings
This course meets once a week for discussion and review of assigned homework.
* Homework
There are no papers or other specific assignments, other than to consider (and perhaps make a few notes about) various questions posed each week for the next week's discussion. As noted, students are expected to have read all the Chronicles of Narnia before class.
* Prerequisites
None.
* Recommended background
The student should have read the Chronicles of Narnia completely and be reasonably familiar with their contents on a narrative level.

Other information: This is a reference guide, set up dictionary-fashion, for the Chronicles of Narnia, written by the founder of the Southern California C. S. Lewis Society. The Companion has been a mainstay for Narnia fans for a generation. Ford's enthusiasm and zeal come through even this relatively staid mode of delivery, though, and the book, while not required for the course, is an informative delight.
