Back Cover Copy
“King Aslan . . . is the heart and the soul of the Narnian universe that is always just down the hall from us, hidden in a wardrobe, beckoning from a painting, or calling us home in the deepest regions of our beings. May you find him, not only in Narnia, but in this world as well.”
So begins the journey on which Bruce Edwards invites you to join him in his study of the spiritual world of Narnia as seen through the lives of its inhabitants. Not a Tame Lion focuses on key character traits in the Chronicles—goodness, valor, vanity, villainy, and viciousness—and the vindication of goodness in the great lion king, Aslan.
Travel to the land of Narnia for the first time—or the eightieth—and discover anew the depths and insights that make C. S. Lewis’s classic series the treasure it has been for decades.
