Planet Narnia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The BBC is set to film a documentary based on Rev. Dr. Michael Ward’s recent book Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis<\/span>.\u00a0 Ward, one of our former Wardens of C.S. Lewis’ home, “The Kilns,” and a seminar leader at Oxbridge 2008, will be working with director\/producer Norman Stone, who was a seminar leader both at Oxbridge 1998 and 2005 and directed the documentary C.S. Lewis: Beyond Narnia<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The film, slated for release Easter 2009 on BBC2, is titled The Narnia Code<\/span>.\u00a0 The book, if you have not yet read it, is a case for a hidden layer of meaning in the Narnia stories based on medieval cosmology. According to Ward, C.S. Lewis themed each Narnia book on a different planet, which gives a key to its meaning and symbolism.<\/p>\n
