This novel is mostly written from the third person omniscient point of view. This is observed in the fact that many characters are shown alone, or in small groups, and everything about what happens is evident to the reader. However, there are several times when C.S. Lewis speaks to the reader as himself in the first person. Through these interjections he expresses his opinions and preferences.
