Overview:

George Devonshire is captivated by The lion, the witch and the wardrobe. He is also a boy with a serious heart condition, one that medicine in 1950 cannot heal. His sister Megs is a student on scholarship at Oxford, brilliant with numbers but not so interested in story. Yet she desperately loves her brother and would do anything for him. When George wants answers to his questions about Narnia and the wardrobe, Megs is determined to approach C.S. Lewis and find answers for her precious brother.

What follows is a sweet story of the love between a brother and sister and an equally endearing story of encounters between Megs and C.S. Lewis as we all as his brother Warnie as Megs endeavors to answer George’s questions. A very enjoyable read!
