Here is a preview of the text for the back cover of The Professor of Narnia:

Have you ever wanted to meet the man behind the magical land of Narnia? Now you can meet C. S. Lewis, the Oxford tutor and Cambridge professor who wrote the seven books: The Chronicles of Narnia. Learn what made the creator of the most beloved fairy tales of the 20th century the unique man that he was. Come along for the ride and you may even get to meet the great lion Aslan himself.

“This is the perfect biography of C.S.Lewis for children...The boys and girls who read this biography will not only know how Lewis spent his time, but will know in their bones what it felt like to be the man whose dreams of lions led to the creation of Narnia.”
