Boxen

Half a century before the publication of The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis created another imaginary world. The tales of "Animal-land", which eigth-year-old Jack (as his family knew him) had shared with his brother Warnie, soon developed into the chronicles of Boxen, a kingdom populated by warrior mice, frog politicians and exiled chess pieces. For more than 20 years, the growing Lewis added to his elaborate invented world, finally concluding with his Encyclopedia Boxiniana when he was 29. This book collects together all the Boxen stories, some never before published, complete with the author´s own delightful illustrations.
