This paper aims to present the possibility of drawing a deeper connection between the medieval imaginarium and selected tropes in twentieth century fantasy literature, based on a case study analysing the concept of paradise in C. S. Lewis’s young adult book series, The Chronicles of Narnia. In order to do that, the article introduces some key elements and rules governing medieval geographical concepts and how they tie in with the highly symbolic perspective on the world adopted in that epoch, using examples from cartographic and literary sources. Next, the author takes a look at the model of paradise carefully crafted in Lewis’s novels, to later compare it with its medieval counterpart and demonstrate the analogies between the two, with the goal of providing some clues regarding possible paths for interpretation.
