Ben Stewart Outside Reading 1

In the Chronicles of Narnia C.S. Lewis brings the sacred landscape into the book in countless situations. In the Lion the With and the Wardrobe Edward enters the wilderness through a magic wardrobe. As he walks through this wardrobe he is seen to be in a completely different landscape filled with snow. This landscape is clearly sacred because of its qualities. It exists completely outside of reality. In this way it can be see as being transcendent, which is one of the criteria for a sacred landscape.
