Synopsis:

In this book today's readers will find a new aspect of the legendary academic and writer. Through his letters C. S. Lewis shared with his young correspondents his feelings about school (he hated mathematics), writing, and animals. He gave wise but light-hearted advice to his godchildren. And of course he talked about the magical world he had created in the Narnia Chronicles, the series of books for children which have become one of the great classics of all time.

What emerges from this captivating collection is Lewis's understanding of childhood and the respect he felt for his young readers. As he once said: "I don't think age matters so much as people think. Parts of me are still twelve, and I think other parts were already fifty when I was twelve."

These LETTERS TO CHILDREN will delight and enchant Narnia lovers and C. S. Lewis
readers of all ages.
