In this episode of The Mere C.S. Lewis Podcast, we dive into C.S. Lewis’ essay “It All Began with a Picture…” 🎨, where he shares how The Chronicles of Narnia first took shape in his imagination. How did a mental image of a faun with an umbrella ☂️ lead to one of the most beloved fantasy series of all time? We’ll explore Lewis’ creative process, the mystery of inspiration, and what his experience teaches us about storytelling and faith.

Plus, Thornton gives an overview of the year ahead 📅 and tackles the Chronicles of Narnia reading order controversy 📚🔥—should you read them in publication order or chronological order? Join us for a fascinating discussion on Lewis, imagination, and the stories that shape us!
