This is a beautiful little story for anyone who has ever fallen in love with a good book. The Chronicles of Narnia is one of my all-time favorite series, and C.S Lewis has held a special place in my heart for a long, long time. Once Upon a Wardrobe seeks to answer the question, "Where does a good story come from?" And the answer, of course, is different for each character and every reader. From those of us who rely on logic to the dreamers amongst us and everyone in between, we all have stories that stick with us, but the reasons behind that vary as much as the individuals reading them. Once Upon a Wardrobe is a magical and heartwarming book that takes us on a journey from the spark of the idea to that idea imbedding itself into the hearts of the masses. I really loved it, and I'm looking forward to reading Becoming Mrs. Lewis by the same author!
