    About this ebook

    Using recognized Study Bibles and Bible Commentaries, I have researched and gathered together the possible Scriptures which may have inspired C.S. Lewis to use lions in his literature, including The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Great Divorce.

      Study’s Purpose

      To find the source of C.S.
