_A lonely, imaginative boy becomes the world-renowned author of The Chronicles of Narnia in this_ s_pellbinding biography of C.S. Lewis._
Once a boy was born to make stories: C.S. Lewis. He insisted on being called “Jack” and loved to write and draw with his older brother. But after his mother died, he was shipped to boarding school, where he longed for real friends and sought refuge in books. And words and stories would strengthen him during World War I, connect him to bookish friends like J.R.R. Tolkien, and drive him toward his destiny as a world-renowned author…
With lyrical words from Suzanne Poulter Harris and lush, fantastical art from Mira Miroslavova, _The Boy Behind the Wardrobe_ goes beyond the traditional picture book biography to explore the history and emotional trajectory of a child who struggled to fit in, yet created books beloved by millions around the globe. Like the wardrobe transporting the Pevensies to Narnia, this biography will transport readers into Lewis’s solitary childhood, his fantastic imagination, and his journey of hope. An author’s note, timeline, bibliography, and other back matter offer additional insights into Jack’s life and inspiration.
_The Boy Behind the Wardrobe_ is Suzanne Poulter Harris’s debut picture book, shaped by the echoes of Narnia that she found in her homeland of Northern Ireland.
