Livre d'Or

i had the books as a box set, as a child. i probably read them all, certainly the first few anyway, though i don't know how much i understood them. At some point later on i was told CS Lewis was a Christian essayist, i recognized the name and said Didn't he write...?, and learnt that those books were Christian too. By then, either the things i remembered from the books didn't strike me as overtly Christian, or i didn't remember the books well enough to be able to think of things to point to.

It was more exciting when i discovered that the astronomy book i had by AA Milne was by the same person who wrote the Pooh books. Really? It's the same person? It took some convincing to make me accept that they weren't written by two different people who happened to have the same name. Of course i was much younger then than when i learnt about Lewis.
