This book is rather slow (which is why it's not a 5 star). But it did effect me. I will think about it a lot.

This story was heartwarming and, in keeping with the tone of The Chronicles of Narnia, bittersweet. Megs’ love for her brother George is touching. And in her quest to answer his questions about his favorite book, she discovers something about life herself as well as her own talents for storytelling. Though not set in the world of Narnia, Once Upon A Wardrobe puts into words that wonderment so many people feel when they read and reread the series. How does Narnia compare to the real world? Who is Aslan? Could a place like Narnia be possible? While a part of me does wish I waited for Christmastime to read this, it made for a good comfort read to wrap up a busy month.

Like so many of us, young George is captivated by the world of Narnia. Where did Mr. Lewis get these ideas? When he learns is older sister goes to Oxford where CS Lewis is a professor he asks her to find out. How could Megs turn down her 7-year-old brother's heart's desire? Especially when some babies are born closer to the end of their story than others, and this little boy was one of those.” And so she begins learning about CS Lewis' life and making connections with the characters "Once Upon a Wardrobe and not very long ago and not very far away . . . " weaving them into stories for George. In the process, we experience layers of stories, words and phrases weaving together imagination and reality.
