He used history, a lot of Biblical history as inspiration. There are several books written about C.S. Lewis and the history behind The Chronicles, I'm sure you can find some of the books on the internet, just look up CSLewis or Narnia. Good luck and God bless!

No clue, but there is a really great fictional book called "Here, There be Dragons" that has its own theory on why C.S Lewis wrote the Narnia series. If you decide to read it, it won't really make much sense(about why) until the very end. Obviously its fiction, but a good read none the less.

It's an analogy; meaning, every character represents someone else in real life. Aslan is Jesus, the witch is Satan, and so on. I think the 4 children are supposed to be us, the people. Basically Jesus and Satan and the conflicts arising inspired him, I would think.

maybe a dream, or lots of lonely boring nites at home siting by a fire siping on some tea staring out the window on a cold wintery nite.

When I was forced to read the book, my teacher said that God and the Bible inspired him
