The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe was dedicated to Lucy Barfield. Who was Lucy Barfield?
The dedication on the inside of ‘The Lion’ reads like this: TO LUCY BARFIELD My Dear Lucy, I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realised that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.
