Lewis’s writings to discover

Two worksheets are based on texts where Lewis discusses his work as a writer: his letters to children, full of writing advice, and his essays on stories and other worlds, where he explains that Narnia began with the image of a faun carrying an umbrella in a snowy wood. For context, also read How Lewis Created Narnia and Lewis’s Sources of Inspiration.
