Abstract
Children's literature is all about the didactic objectives. Children's classics are of great importance, for they contain the link between past, present, and future. Lewis's Narnia is one of the classics, and it will be the case study of the present research which is conducted to shed light on the shared situations between Lewis's childhood memories and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe along with identifying the type of effects his mythological choices creates via seeing it from the perspective of the Biographical Criticism, Psycho-biographical approach and the Archetypical Criticism. It will be accomplished through multiple steps which will be developed in the chapters. The first chapter's aim is stressing out the needing information about some crucial points such as children's literature and the literary criticism which is to be applied. The second one focuses on finding the hidden link between the author's biography and his text. The final chapter points out the didactic objectives which Lewis created through the story. Lewis used his own thoughts and memories in writing Narnia along with what he believed to be the right choice of Myths in order to convey certain messages. The research is addressing the missing focus on Lewis's words in his autobiography and the relationship between his life and particular religious perspectives in the text.
