The Heartwarming Dedication C.S. Lewis Wrote for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
This image captures the poignant dedication page from C.S. Lewis's classic novel, 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.' Addressed to his goddaughter, Lucy Barfield, the letter reflects on the passage of time and the enduring nature of stories. Lewis writes with a bittersweet tone, acknowledging that while children eventually outgrow fairy tales, they may one day return to them as adults. He expresses a humble hope that Lucy will revisit the book in the future, even if he is no longer around to hear her thoughts on the work he created specifically for her.

read and reread the series countless times as a kid. probs what got me into the fantasy settings for rpgs etc.
Despite being known most for Narnia, I love his Screwtape letters more.
First time I picked up one of his books, my mother shouted: "watch out! he's a Christian." So was she. dafuq?
Tolkien: I dislike allegory. Lewis: So this lion is, like, Jesus.
