89. The Horse and His Boy
Join Cooper, Isaiah, and Tanner for as wide ranging a conversation as the journey from southern Calormen to Archenland on C.S. Lewis’ The Horse and His Boy. Are the Narnia books based on the seven planets from medieval cosmology? Was Lewis a universalist? (A precursor to The Last Battle conversation) Is this book effective at worldbuilding?
