The lost tales of 'Animal-land', written and illustrated by C.S.
Lewis and his brother Warnie, which they developed into the
chronicles of the kingdom of Boxen, newly published to mark the
centenary of the first story. Half a century before the publication
of The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis created another imaginary
world. The tales of 'Animal-land' which eight-year-old Jack (as his
family knew him) had shared with his brother Warnie developed into
the chronicles of the kingdom of Boxen. In a succession of stories
over the next few years, the young Lewis explored its history,
geography and the colourful exploits of its inhabitants in vivid
detail, writing the last of the papers, his Encyclopedia Boxoniana,
in April 1928. This new landmark edition marks the centenary of the
very first Boxen manuscript. Here are all the stories, some never
before seen, sensitively edited and arranged to make the most of
the fabulous and inventive fantasy while retaining all the vigour
of a child's imaginative writing. Lavishly and charmingly
illustrated by the author, and published for the very first time in
colour, together with facsimile pages from the original notebooks,
this book will provide a unique insight into one of the most
extraordinary minds of our age. For every reader who has been
captivated by the magic of Narnia, Boxen will open a window on to
another enchanted land.
