“The Most Sustained Achievement In Fantasy For Children By A 20th-Century Author”
An Oxford professor who also wrote literary criticism, fiction for adults and Christian apologetics, C.S. Lewis is primarily known for his extraordinary fantasy series, the Chronicles of Narnia. “All my seven Narnia books,” Lewis once wrote, “began with seeing pictures in my head… The Lion began with a picture of a faun carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood. This picture had been in my mind since I was 16. Then one day, when I was about 40, I said to myself, ‘Let’s try and make a story about it’” (Brown, 19). “Adored by children and academics alike, these books are extremely collectible, sought-after and scarce” (Connolly, 186).
