Tis a wonderful series of books.  When Lewis first started writing them
he did so for one particular girl.  He said that she's be too old to read
fairy tales by the time it was published, but once she got older still
she'd be able to read fairy tales again and then maybe she'd read the
book he'd written for her :)
