About the Author

Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably the most influential Christian writer of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English literature at Oxford University until 1954, when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. His major contributions in literary criticism, children's literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim.

He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include, The Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.

Customer Reviews

A Treasure is Released Again!
This book is one of just a few Lewis titles that have ended up out of print...until now! We now have a wonderful collection of stories written by a much younger C.S. Lewis. As a child he kept notebooks in which he wrote and illustrated stories that came from his young and extremely imaginative mind.

This book is presented in three sections: Animal-Land, Boxen, and Encyclopedia Boxoniana. Animal-Land is a collection of plays and short stories. By co-authoring with his brother as a child the second section contains four `novels.'

The third section includes a list of writings pertaining to Boxen, general history, chronology, and geography.

This is a rare treat to have the writings of a well-loved children's author republished and shared again.:)

enjoyable fairytale
excellent for the c.s. lewis lover interested in his more secondary works, such as this which he wrote as a child. very enjoyable

Delightful
It is (thank God) no Narnia; but you get to see the genius behind the wardrobe. If you will, the genius in development. You will be shocked (I promise you) how clever those Lewis boys really were.
