Megs's little brother, George, was born with a weak heart. He may not live beyond his eight years. A new book, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe has captured his imagination. When he asks Megs where she thinks the idea of Narnia orginates and if she can ask C.S. Lewis himself, Megs knows she needs to gather up her courage and track down the English tutor. To her surprise, instead of answering her question directly, Lewis begins to tell her stories of his life, which writes down in a notebook so she can relate them to George. Initially her mathematical brain is frustrated with this approach, but gradually, his stories transform her and the way she perceives life.
I loved indirectly learning about C.S. Lewis's life.
Beautifully written.
I cringed when Megs replies "or herself" when C.S. Lewis says, "God, Himself". Otherwise, I highly recommend this thought-provoking book that I could reread.
After reading this book, I want to read more books by George MacDonald!
