Orthodoxy - Chesterton

In Orthodoxy, an essay by Gilbert K. Chesterton, he mentions that he is “concerned with a certain way of life, which was created in me by fairy tales, but has since been meekly ratified by the mere facts.” I can relate with Chesterton, especially after taking this C.S. Lewis course. In particular, reading the Chronicles of Narnia series truly allowed me to forget about all of the ‘facts’ my mind has accumulated since I was a boy, causing me to assume the world works a certain way. But as I read, my mind was liberated, and as I became a part of those stories, walking through Narnia with Peter, Lucy, Edmund and Susan, I was able to purely experience something which was fresh to my mind, uncontaminated by the things this nation’s culture has ruined for me.
