Synopsis
"Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy." C. S. Lewis fans everywhere know that this famous line leads children and adults alike into the land of Narnia, a place where a wardrobe leads to a fantasy land and beavers become your protectors. What made C. S. Lewis such a renowned children's author? Was it his ability to mold fantasy worlds so complex that it took a series to explain it all? Or was it his love of children's books even as an adult? This book will engage readers as it details the timeless Narnia series, fantasy literature in general, C. S. Lewis's life, and much more.

Review
"This book takes the reader through the life of Narnia's creator, C.S. Lewis, and how he came to create this amazing world. An engaging biography that offers a glimpse into the life of Lewis and his creation." (Christina Lewis KidsBookshelf 2006-03-14)
"A coffee-table paperback that features illustrations from the original series and lots of color and black-and-white photos, including stills from the BBC-TV adaptation of the series that aired in the 1980s. The accompanying text covers Lewis's real and fantasy worlds, his faith and his academic life, and his marriage to Joy Davidman. Includes stills from the movie 'Shadowlands,' which featured Anthony Hopkins as C.S. Lewis." (FaithfulReader.com Newsletter 2005-12-05)
