'Once Upon a Wardrobe' by Patti Callahan

 

Once Upon a Wardrobe, Patti Callahan (4.0)
A touching and imaginative story of a sister’s love for her sick brother and her journey to find the answer to his question: how did C.S. Lewis come up with Narnia? Megs is a Physics/Math student at Oxford who tracks down C.S. Lewis to get an answer to her brother’s question. Unable to give her one answer, he tells her many stories of his life which she dutifully recites back to her bed-ridden brother. I normally don’t like fiction that uses real people, but this is a charming story more about relationships and how life likely affects fiction.
