If you think Lewis is a children's writer simply because you imagine that the Chronicles of Narnia are only good for childrens' readings, read Till We Have Faces.

I do not think that Lewis is a children's writer, only that the Chronicles are children's books. And there's nothing wrong with writing children's books. I'm just a bit disappointed because I remembered them as less...childish.

I must admit that I haven't read any other books by C.S. Lewis that the 7 about Narnia so I won't say anything about him as an author. And I do remember that they were written for children and I did enjoy them as a child.

You see?

But thank you for the tip! I'll read it if I can give myself the time.
