It just didn't occur to me at all. All I found was a really gripping series (apart from The Last Battle, which was rubbish) that I couldn't put down. I've had a few people say that they've either boycotted or will not allow their children to read CS Lewis on the basis that his works are so overtly Christian. Those people are idiots, they're missing out on some cracking stories, Christianity or no Christianity.
