Lewis, author of the Chronicles of Narnia.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A lyrical nonfiction picture book about the inspired life of C. S. Lewis, the beloved author of the Chronicles of Narnia--from <em>Free as a Bird</em> author-illustrator Lina Maslo. Perfect for fans of <em>The Important Thing About Margaret Wise Brown </em>and <em>Some Writer!: The Story of E.B. White</em>.</strong></p> <p>As a child, Clive Staples Lewis imagined many things . . .</p> <p>heroic animals</p> <p>and knights in armor</p> <p>and a faraway land called Boxen.</p> <p>He even thought of a new name for himself--at four years old, he decided he was more of a Jack.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>A magical realm called Narnia.</p> <p>And the books he would write about this kingdom would change his life and that of children the world over.</p><p>Share this magical nonfiction picture book at home or in the classroom.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A lushly colored look into Lewis's world, complementing the peaks and valleys of his creative and personal endeavors....
