THE MAGICIAN'S BOOK is the story of one reader's long,
tumultuous relationship with C.S. Lewis'The Chronicles of
Narnia. Enchanted by its fantastic world as a child,
prominent critic Laura Miller returns to the series as an
adult to uncover the source of these small books' mysterious
power by looking at their creator, Clive Staples Lewis. What
she discovers is not the familiar, idealized image of the
author, but a more interesting and ambiguous truth: Lewis's
tragic and troubled childhood, his unconventional love life,
and his intense but ultimately doomed friendship with J.R.R.
Tolkien.
Finally reclaiming Narnia "for the rest of us," Miller casts
the Chronicles as a profoundly literary creation, and the
portal to a life-long adventure in books, art, and the
imagination.
