Follow my journey throughout Northern Ireland in search of the influences behind C S Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia. Covering Antrim, Down, Belfast and Derry/Londonderry I take a look at the history, the inspirations and the factors that shaped Lewis as a young boy growing up in his native homeland.

The magical world of Narnia that C S Lewis created was largely influenced by his early years growing up in Northern Ireland. Throughout this blog you will follow my journey to rediscover the author and his real life Narnia.

‘I yearn to see County Down in the snow, one almost expects to see a march of dwarfs dashing past. How I long to break into a world where such things were true.’
