Preachy? No. There's some dogma in LWW and TLB but you have to be looking for it in LWW and by the end of the series, Lewis had earned the right to let Jesus take the wheel, as it were. The vast majority of the series can be enjoyed (and has by children of all faiths) as a fantasy series. It saddens me that Lewis has become the latest fanpundit punching bag. His stuff is incredible--so rich so rewarding on so many levels.

"you have to be looking for it in LWW"

You serious? Even as a child, I understood that Aslan was being sacrificed like Jesus on the cross. That's not exactly a deeply buried similarity.

"It saddens me that Lewis has become the latest fanpundit punching bag. His stuff is incredible--so rich so rewarding on so many levels."

fanpundit punching bag = someone didn't care for his work, apparently? Wow, you're wound up too tight over this. Just because someone doesn't like C.S. Lewis doesn't mean they're disliking it to spite you, or to follow some literary trend.

One of these replies comes off as wound up too tight, but it's not the first comment.

It's not a hugely deeply buried similarity, but all the same, lots of people don't pick up on it, particularly if they read it in childhood and don't reread later/ don't read "The Last Battle". I recall ending up explaining that it was an allegory to a friend who was in their third year at uni, had grown up in a church-going family, and was themselves a practicing Christian. It just didn't register with them at the time.
