This book was so good and short I could not put it down, it was such a cozy and good read, I also loved that it was about my favourite book and movie.
It was so good. This book will be on my bookshelf forever, very good and a short read.
Going into this book I wasn't sure if I would have liked it, but I loved every minute of this book.
I love the cover of the book, I am going to read more of Patti's books, I have the book called
" Becoming Mrs. Lewis" on my bookshelf right now and I am excited to read it.
I would read this book again.

I haven't enjoyed a book this much in a long time. It ignited a passion for reading simply to enjoy something that I forgot I had in the midst of my piles of books for school. Stories do something amazing to you.

This book is the one I was craving over Christmas and could not find. It is a window into another time, that might as well be another world, so different from our own time where things always feel so confusing and depressing. In this time, hope wins out even in the face of struggle and despair. On every page there are so many passages to underline--that ring with truth and sentiment. I cried in both joy and sorrow. Ms. Callahan has given us a beautiful, beautiful book.

A beautiful story about the quest for more. As a long time lover of The Chronicles of Narnia, this is a fantastic companion for older/adult readers.

I cried. I'm a cover sucker and will just go for anything related to C.S.Lewis, but I did not expect this book to move me to tears.
A wonderful book about the power of story and the imagination to help is deal with life, come to terms with death and and accept faith and love. The afterword by Douglas Gresham (Lewis stepson) was the icing on the proverbial cake.

I will be giving this a re-read soon because it is not just a Christmas book.
