Into the Wardrobe

Hi Courtney. If you are supposed to get in touch with someone who knew the author, you might try to contact Douglas Gresham, Walter Hooper, or Jill Freud. I would suggest you contact the C.S. Lewis Company at:

Have you looked at the information available under the other tabs on this website - faq, bio, papers, etc? There are some pictures under the multimedia tab.

As far as criticism of his work goes, there were many people who disagreed with his writings. For example, his close friend J.R.R. Tolkien did not like The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe at all, and begged him not to send it to a publisher, thinking it would be ridiculed. And many of his Oxford colleagues did not approve of his non-fiction Christian books.

Good luck - it sounds like an ambitious project!

Fourth grader, eh? Forgive me, but that just doesn't match up with your writing. Doing homework for your child isn't a good thing and only hurts them in the end.
