He was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include Mere Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and the universally acknowledged classics The Chronicles of Narnia. To date, the Narnia books have sold over 100 million copies and been transformed into three major motion pictures.

Oooh, it so so fun to read books with Evie that we can both get lost in. And then we watched Disney's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe together.
A friend gave me one of these adaptations and then I found the rest on Ebay. We have several of these small, soft-cover books that Chick-fil-a included in their kid's meals in the late '90s and early '00s.

Phenomenal introductory stories of the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe book! Simplified but without taking away a lot of the meat of the story and good for very young ages (my 2-7 year olds will all sit and listen to them or pull them out to look at independently).

I read "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" to my children when they were still pretty young, too young to have read it on their own. It helped to have a great book like this with LOTS of illustrations to show to them. I would read the original C. S. Lewis book, then show them the pictures in this book as a sort of summary, thus allowing them to imagine the scenes as the words were read aloud but then giving them a concrete picture as well. The pictures are brightly colored, filling the pages and fully satisfying a child's imagination. Although they are more "illustration-like" than the more moody illustrations done by Christian Birmingham, I still love this collection.
