Boxen: The Imaginary World of the Young C. S. Lewis.

LEWIS, C. S. Edited by Walter Hooper.

Item Number: 136244

London: Collins, 1985.

First English edition of young C.S. Lewis’ collected Boxen stories. Octavo, original boards, illustrated. Fine in a near fine dust jacket.

Half a century before the publication of The Chronicles of Narnia, C.S. Lewis created another imaginary world. Its name was Boxen, and in a succession of stories Lewis explored its history, geography and the colorful exploits of its characters in quite extraordinary detail. This book presents the best of the Boxen stories, retaining the original illustrations and Lewis's idiosyncratic spelling.
