Overview
A lyrical nonfiction picture book about the inspired life of
C. S. Lewis, the beloved author of the Chronicles of Narnia—from Free as a Bird author-illustrator Lina
Maslo. Perfect for fans of The Important
Thing About Margaret Wise Brown and Some
Writer!: The Story of E.B. White.
As a child, Clive Staples Lewis
imagined many things . . .
heroic animals
and knights in armor
and a faraway land called Boxen.
He even thought of a new name for
himself—at four years old, he decided he was more of a Jack.
As he grew up, though, Jack found
that the real world was not as just as the one in his imagination. No magic
could heal the sick or stop a war, and a bully’s words could pierce as sharply
as a sword. So Jack withdrew into books and eventually became a well-known
author for adults.
But he never forgot the epic tales
of his boyhood, and one day a young girl’s question about an old family
wardrobe inspired him to write a children’s story about a world hidden beyond
its fur coats . . . a world of fauns and queens and a lion named Aslan. A world
of battles between good and evil, where people learned courage and love and
forgiveness.
A magical realm called Narnia.
And the books he would write about
this kingdom would change his life and that of children the world over.
