Christian Books sent me a catalog; I leafed through, since any collection of books might be of interest. There was a whole section on how your family can be taught the true, Christian meaning of Narnia. Here's the Narnia Page:

Yes, Lewis used some Christian allegory in his Narnia books. He also displayed his love of Classical myth. And he was definitely NOT a Fundamentalist.
The site also has a Tolkien page, but very little on "Christian meaning" in LOTR. Perhaps because Tolkien was Catholic & this site is mostly Protestant. (Their printed catalog was 100% Protestant.)
