I admit, after reading this article, Michael Ward’s theory that the Chronicles of Narnia were each based on one of the seven medieval heavenly bodies is looking more and more plausible to me.

Thank you for this post. I read it today, and suddenly remembered I had read someone else blog about it a couple times over the past months, and I’m not going to forget about it this time. Ward’s essay was quite convincing.
