Today’s non-fiction recs are an eclectic lot! One book link, one serious essay and one unusual history of Narnia
This link takes you to Amazon.com, to the Table of Contents for CS Lewis’ book entited ‘Poems’ which includes poems about Narnia. I don’t think I was previously aware that Lewis wrote Narnian poetry. Another one for the Christmas list!
