This audiobook/lecture series/study guide is part of the Modern Scholar series of professor-led courses on various topics in the humanities and social sciences. A valuable tool for continuing education, this series features prominent scholars and real students interacting within an academic setting rendering it an ideal literary aid. Each Modern Scholar "kit" features recorded lectures along with a workbook and study guide allowing you to follow along with each talk. Professor Timothy Baker Shutt of Kenyon College (MI) is an expert on the literature of C.S. Lewis, particularly his Science Fiction and Fantasy works. His literal and transfigural insight into Lewis' fictional Narnian world really enhances the characters and motifs elucidating each book's relevance within the 6-part series. With the second Narnia movie, 'Prince Caspian', appearing in theaters, this is really a great (and not too hard) read for inquiring minds. Shutt also chronicles important events in Lewis' personal life detailing how certain incidents may ultimately have impacted his literary style.
