Now available in trade paper with an eye-catching new cover from
the bestselling author of Becoming Mrs. Lewis: Megs Devonshire sets
out to fulfill her younger brother George's last wish by uncovering
the truth behind his favorite story. The answer provides hope and
healing and a magical journey for anyone whose life has ever been
changed by a book. 1950: Margaret Devonshire (Megs) is a
seventeen-year-old student of mathematics and physics at Oxford
University. When her beloved eight-year-old brother asks Megs if
Narnia is real, logical Megs tells him it's just a book for
children, and certainly not true. Homebound due to his illness, and
remaining fixated on his favorite books, George presses her to ask
the author of the recently released novel The Lion, the Witch and
the Wardrobe a question: "Where did Narnia come from?" Despite her
fear about approaching the famous author, who is a professor at her
school, Megs soon finds herself taking tea with C. S. Lewis and his
own brother Warnie, begging them for answers. Rather than directly
telling her where Narnia came from, Lewis encourages Megs to form
her own conclusion as he slowly tells her the little-known stories
from his own life that led to his inspiration. As she takes these
stories home to George, the little boy travels father in his
imagination than he ever could in real life. Lewis's answers will
reveal to Megs and her family many truths that science and math
cannot, and the gift she thought she was giving to her brother-the
story behind Narnia-turns out to be his gift to her, instead: hope.
