C.S. Lewis "Chronicles of Narnia" Letter Donated to University
06/15/06
From SFGate.com:
The recipient of a handwritten letter from C.S. Lewis, in which the author explains the maning of the "Chronicles of Narnia," has donated it to a university in the author's hometown of Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Anne Jenkins was 10 when she wrote to Lewis with questions about a paragraph in one of the Narnia books, "The Silver Chair." Lewis failed to answer her questions exactly, but his 1961 reply provided insights into the magical Narnia story that has enchanted generations of children.
The letter will be displayed in the C.S. Lewis Reading Room at Queen's University's new $80 million library when it opens in 2009.
"As a Christian, the writings of CS have helped me enormously in my life," Jenkins said Wednesday. "My feeling about this letter is that, so far I have kept it safe, as a low, steadily burning flame if you like, but now I need to hand it over so that it can be seen by many.
"I know that the flame will now burn brighter and stronger in the care of Queen's University Belfast."
