Yeah, the christian angle was lost on me completely, possibly because I am Jewish. I love the books to bits, possibly due to nostalgic value, nowadays I find CS Lewis style a tad condecending but still - I love the stories. Mind you - I always LOATHED the last book in the series (Last Battle) and refuse aknowleging it as part of the Narnia Saga XD

Oddly - I always associated greatly with Edmund. I believe I was in love with him when I was a little girl. I always liked flawed characters.
