![]() ![]() ![]() The text of the book had initially stretched my reading ability but, by 1955, I would have been a fully paid-up member of the Friends of Narnia, if such an organisation had existed. The newspaper had received it, but it had not been sent out to any of their contributors. My godfather, the proprietor of the Church Times, had sent me a copy of this latter book (alas no longer in my possession!) for Christmas 1950. Secondly, it was written by the same author who was responsible for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I wondered what surprise and joy had to do with each other. First of all I was intrigued by the title. I was attracted to looking at the book for two reasons. My father, an Anglican parish priest, did not buy many books in the 50s, so this purchase was a significant event. I was about ten years old when my father bought the autobiographical book by C.S.Lewis, Surprised by Joy. ![]()
