AND THE
WARDROBE
Illustrated by PAULINE BAYNES
To Lucy Barfield
My Dear Lucy,
I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls
grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales,
and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some
day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then
take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of
it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand, a word
you say, but I shall still be
your affectionate Godfather,
C. S. Lewis
