C. S. Lewis: Letters to Children

From dust jacket notes: "...Todays readers can now meet the creator of the magical world of Narnia who described himself as a tall fat rather bald red-faced double-chinned black-haired man with a deep voice and reading glasses. Through his letters Lewis shared with his young correspondents his feelings about school (he hated math) writing and animals. And of course he talked about Narnia explaining why there are only seven books in the Chronicles how to pronounce Aslans name and whether Susan will be able to return to Narnia. What emerges from this captivating collection are Lewiss clear understanding of childhood and the respect he felt for his young readers. As he once said: I dont think age matters so much as people think. Parts of me are still 12 and I think other parts were already 50 when I was 12...."
