Book Reviews: Once upon a Wardrobe; The Mirror Visitor Quartet

Once upon a Wardrobe by Patti Callahan (Harper Muse, 2021) If you read Patti Callahan’s previous novel, Becoming Mrs. Lewis, you know that she displayed a knack for getting inside the life of C.S. Lewis and those around him, and shaping the familiar facts into a touching new story. She does it again in her new novel, but from a very different perspective. Here, a (fictional) student at Oxford, Megs Devonshire, seeks out Lewis with an urgent request. Her little brother, George, is gravely ill. He’s found comfort and hope in Lewis’s stories, and he desperately wants to know where Narnia came from.
