You are a child returning from adventures with a lion and a witch in the magical land of Narnia when you tumble out of a wardrobe, and you’re staring at the secretary of the English department at Westmont College.
Or, you might pop out of a wardrobe and into a research library at Wheaton College outside Chicago, gaping at a clutch of C.S. Lewis scholars who would be gaping back at you.
That’s how fantasy works. It’s as unpredictable as the fact that two small Christian colleges both lay claim to owning a big, portable closet that may have inspired Lewis when he penned “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” the first tale in his “Chronicles of Narnia” series for children.
