Re: real meaning

Maybe its like C.S. Lewis...who wrote the
fantastic children's fantasy series "The Chronicles of
Narnia." I don't know about you, but when I read those
books as a child, they left a deep feeling within me
that I can't describe. When I read them as an
adolescent...the feeling returned only stronger and with more
understanding. I understood that the whole tale was an allegory
of the Bible. Even as child I knew something was
there...but not quite sure what. Perhaps its the same with
TPB. In lots of things there is spiritual
significance, especially if you are a Christian familiar with
the stories in the Bible and their meanings. Whether
the author meant it or not, maybe you can makes some
sort of connection there...<br><br>Amy
