A magical world existing parallel to our own; a country accessible only through chinks or chasms between that world and this; a galaxy far, far away. These three fantastic places have become ersatz homes to many children and adults, and have informed the worldview of millions of the same. Through books and other media, Hogwarts School, Narnia, and the myriad planets of the Star Wars stories have become familiar destinations for many seeking a fantastic escape from the real world, but do they have any real world applications, especially for Christians?
Neal (MySpace for Moms and Dads) strips away unnecessary baggage and gets to the heart of stories, examining the structure of classic fantasy fiction and its correspondent scriptural relevance. By focusing on the superstructure, accompanied by many examples from each series, she is able to magnify the positive elements in fantasy fiction as a whole and the three series specifically. Shot through with biblical support and application, Wizards, Wardrobes and Wookiees will broaden your understanding of all of these influential modern myths.
