New York, NY: Macmillan Publishing Company, 1985 Macmillan Publishing Company, New York. 1985. Hardcover. First Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Near Fine; NOT Price Clipped ($9.95); light toning to spine and top edges of DJ. Blue paper over boards with blue cloth overlay on the spine with blue lettering on the spine. Letters written to children as endpapers. 120 pp 8vo. From the creator of Narnia, here are his letters written to his young admirers as he shared his feeling about school, writing, animals, and Narnia, explaining why there are only seven books in the Chronicles, how to pronounce Aslan's name, and whether Susan will be able to return to Narnia. What emerges from these letters are Lewis's clear understanding of childhood and the respect he felt for his young readers. A clean very presentable copy.
