I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather, C. S. Lew

Here are beauties which pierce like swords or burn like cold iron. Here is a book which will break your heart.' [on Lord of the Rings]

Clive Lewis 2221 quotes

Though it was bright sunshine ...

Though it was bright sunshine everyone felt suddenly cold. The only two people present who seemed to be quite at their ease were Aslan and the Witch herself. It was the oddest thing to see those two faces - the golden face and the dead-white face so close together. Not that the Witch looked Aslan exactly in his eyes; Mrs Beaver particularly noticed this.

The worst of sleeping out of doors is that you wake up so dreadfully early. And when you wake up you have to get up because the ground is so hard you are uncomfortable. And it makes matters worse if there is nothing but apples for breakfast and you have had nothing but apples for supper the night before.

But do you really mean, Sir,' said Peter, 'that there could be other worlds-all over the place, just round the corner-like that?' 'Nothing is more probable,' said the Profesor, taking off his spectacles and beginning to polish them, while he muttered to himself, 'I wonder what they do teach them at these schools.

Once a King in Narnia, always ...

Once a King in Narnia, always a King in Narnia. But don't go trying to use the same route twice. Indeed, don't try to get there at all. It'll happen when you're not looking for it. And don't talk too much about it even among yourselves. And don't mention it to anyone else unless you find that they've had adventures of the same sort themselves. What's that? How will you know? Oh, you'll know all right. Odd things, they say-even their looks-will let the secret out. Keep your eyes open. Bless me, what do they teach them a

Stop it,' spluttered Eustace, 'go away. Put that thing away. It's not safe. Stop it, I say. I'll tell Caspian. I'll have you muzzled and tied up.' 'Why do you not draw your own sword, poltroon!' cheeped the Mouse. 'Draw and fight or I'll beat you black and blue with the flat.' 'I haven't got one,' said Eustace. 'I'm a pacifist. I don't believe in fighting.' 'Do I understand,' said Reepicheep, withdrawing his sword for a moment and speaking very sternly, 'that you do not intend to give me satisfaction?

Shall I ever be able to read that story again; the one I couldn't remember? Will you tell it to me, Aslan? Oh do,do,do.' 'Indeed,yes, I will tell it to you for years and years. But now, come. We must meet the master of this house.
