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.

Loved this story within a story about the life of CS Lewis.

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.

For some reason I just don’t get completely immersed in Ms Callaghan’s books that I’ve read. Both I’ve read are about C S Lewis which interests me - but both were a little disappointing. Most people really like them though.
