Matthew Henry John Bartlett

Aaron and I went to Richie’s CS Lewis lecture this afternoon. Today Harry Ricketts focused on The Last Battle. Very stimulating again. I was particularly struck (between the eyes, even) when he read a quotation featuring the stable which is bigger on the inside, and Lucy mentions a stable in our world that once had something inside it that was bigger than our whole world. That bit had always seemd a bit trite and obvious to me in the past, but today it hit me that we are living in the Narnia world, everything that’s true in the books is at least as true here. So the books are bigger on the inside too.
