C.S. Lewiss Narnia stories - now classic Christian allegories
Not by my definition of Christian - whats yours? Mine is a little Christ.
If you haven't read the Narnia series, you're missing out, although it is more geared for young adults. But, to address your assertion that there is no Christ in the series to make it Christian, I offer you this spoiler: Aslan the Lion was Christ. I don't mean he was a metaphor for Christ, I mean he was Christ. It's only that in Narnia he appeared as a lion. In the human world, he appeared as a man. This is made quite clear in the series. Also, in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Aslan had to sacrifice himself to save the humans from their sins. Then he rose again. Sound familiar?

#1 There’s no such thing as Narnia
#2 Jesus said there’d be false Christs, and we’re not being disappointed.
