Bookish Home Podcast Episode 96
Bestselling novelist and Friends & Fiction co-host Patti Callahan Henry joins the show this week to tell us about her new book Once Upon a Wardrobe, which pulls back the curtain on the early life of C. S. Lewis.
We discussed what the Narnia books have meant to Patti, how the pandemic set this novel in motion, soaking up the magic of the setting on a research trip, and much more.
“I advise you to read this book, then wait for a while and then read it again, for while it may not be Narnia, there is magic in it.” —Douglas Gresham, C.S. Lewis’ Stepson
