"When I was ten I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly... Dearest to my own taste is the fantasy or fairy tale," writes Lewis in one of the pieces in this book. Here are nine essays discussing literary aspects which he felt his critics too often neglect, they include some interesting speculation on his famous Narnian stories for children as well as on his science fiction trilogy.
