He runs a weekly extra-curricular session for his university students, which he insists is the C.S. Lewis Reading Group, but the students insist itâs Narnia Club and theyâre making badges to prove it.'This is a book that will delight all Narnians. Jem Bloomfield leads us on a charming yet erudite ramble through the land of Narnia, pointing out many of the literary and theological references Lewis wove consciously or unconsciously into his tale ... I read the book in one huge gulp and enjoyed every page of it.â
