Boxen : C. S. Lewis :

He seems like a younger version of his friend, J. While the stories are amusing, they are not terribly interestin I've been wanting to read Boxen for a long time, to get inside Lewis's head and see what he was like as a kid, which is why I read or at least read part of Boxen. While the stories are amusing, they are not terribly interesting. Mar 18, A. Shaw rated it liked it Shelves: A beautiful edition, with scans of a great deal of pictures and maps, many of which I enjoyed as much as, if not more than, the actual content. The stories themselves feel very much like a private conversation, well-told as they are especially considering the age of the authors , they are very much about the procedure and pleasure of describing and storytelling, as much as they are about the land itself - you can feel the time passing by, almost, as you read. Some of the characters are delightf A beautiful edition, with scans of a great deal of pictures and maps, many of which I enjoyed as much as, if not more than, the actual content. Some of the characters are delightful, some of the descriptions excellent. Much is mundane or confusing, but it's hardly the sort of book one could hold that against. Well worth a flick, even if you're not moved to read it all. I'm fascinated by the young mind of CS Lewis I like the authenticity of leaving the spelling mistakes as they were CS Lewis has touched many a life through his words. View 1 comment. Aug 04, Laura rated it it was ok. Not as good as The Chronicles of Narnia which is what I expected. Since this was his earlier work I guess the later series was an improvement! This was hard to follow. But since it was written by kids I liked that aspect - I wrote a series about my cat when I was younger. Aug 21, Cheryl rated it liked it. I have to admit I didn't read every word of this book. I skimmed over some stories and read some completely. It is so interesting to see the writing of CS Lewis as a child. He was obviously very bright! May 16, Ronnie marked it as to-read. To see the writtings and drawings of C. S Lewis and his brother and to learn their childhood history is amazing. This was very interesting as an insight into Lewis' development of his mind and craft. Fascinating from that perspective, though from a pure reader's point of view Jan 10, Lauren rated it really liked it Shelves: fiction , childrens-literature , fantasy , read-books. Odd book at first, but I enjoyed it. This was a very interesting read, and at the end of the book it gives some insights into CS Lewis's childhood - which heavily influenced the stories and explains their content to some extent. Dec 31, Nathan Albright rated it it was amazing Shelves: challenge As someone who has read a great deal by and about C. Lewis, it is perhaps surprising that only now have I gotten to his earliest tales, that of the imaginary world of Boxen. To be sure, I have read about Boxen, as many of the writings about C. Lewis' fiction and the author's own memoirs commented on his childhood imaginative fiction and the way that it prefigured in many ways the fiction that Lewis wrote as an adult. Yet at the same time there is something odd about reading the material wr As someone who has read a great deal by and about C. Yet at the same time there is something odd about reading the material written by someone as a child. Some people are embarrassed by their first attempts to write stories, but Lewis appears to have been moderately but not excessively proud of them, even serving as a curator of his works and ranking the various texts as part of an exercise in textual and historical? At any rate, these are enjoyable works even if they are slight, and those who read them with a tolerant and indulgent eye and the memory of one's own juvenile literature will find much to smile about here. This short book of around pages is divided into various parts. First, the editor introduces the material and discusses the surviving Boxen manuscripts and seeks to burnish his own credentials by claiming to have saved many of them from a posthumous burning of documents by Warnie Lewis. After that the manuscripts are divided into two sections. Lewis, who imagined the possibility of future people being interested in this juvenile body of work as he was, and careful to note various works as being "bad" and "good" with regards to their coherence with the Boxonian mythos as a whole, which the author admits to finding some pleasure in even as an adult. And if C. Lewis could find pleasure in these works, we are certainly permitted to do so. It is striking that the author's behavior with regards to his fictional world was not to ignore the parts that children usually find boring like history and politics but to fully clothe the realm with a fascinating and complex and somewhat shambolic political system as well as refreshing honesty about cliques and wars and their causes in matters of prestige and so on and so forth. A lot of the stories center around a small group of people like a brave but somewhat pugnacious frog named Lord Big and a corrupt purser for a ship who seeks to thwart some reform efforts in the logistics system of the Boxen military. By and large the stories are told with a high degree of verve and they are clearly material written by someone with a strong literary mind even as a child, and seem in many ways to be a sort of preparatory work for the Narnia universe, much more accomplished as it may be. Although the stories are themselves not Lewis' most famous works, they are certainly the sort of works that can be enjoyed today as a send up of British imperialism and the way children view the follies of adult politics. Jan 24, Kim rated it really liked it Shelves: c-s-lewis. My first finished C. Lewis book this year as part of thecslewisproject for and Boxen was an interesting one! Imaginative stories featuring animals on adventures and in political pursuits written by a year-old C. Lewis most were written, it seems, between the ages of based upon dates provided. I loved seeing his knowledge of language and culture at such a young age, and you can see how Narnia formed in years later with all that creativity in his mind. Some of these Boxen stori My first finished C. Some of these Boxen stories were a bit convoluted at times but overall this was an intriguing read with some funny parts. I became familiar with Lord Big and his friends. Lewis already grasped well as a child: "The pitiless glare of the sun beat down on the angular bazaar-street of the wine-sellers, so brilliantly that it hurt Lord Big's eyes to look at the white alabaster walls of the houses: that the clearly defined shadows appeared as black as jet: a confused babel of shrill discordant voices filled the leaden atmosphere. A peak into my favorite author's childhood--not through a biography or even diaries, but through the fictional tales he would write with his brother. This reminded me so much of the stories I used to write when I was his age, however his are so much better. They are still written by an 8-year old, so expect some spelling errors. But the world-building is incredible for someone of his age. No wonder he grew up to be the author he became. I only hope I see these traits in my daughter! This is a collection of C. Lewis' writings when he was stuck at home for some time as a pre-teen and shines a light into his imagination as a young boy. If you are a Lewis fan, you would enjoy this. Jul 06, Melissa Gastorf rated it did not like it. This book you should only read if they were your kids. Because it reads like it is, a book written by kids. Apr 14, Ron Cox rated it it was ok. Amazing feat for such a young one, but hard for me to get into the story, but an interesting insight to my favorite author! This was really interesting to read. I feel like i've been getting to know C. Lewis better as i just read what was his diary after his wife's death, A Grief Observed , and then read what he wrote with his brother as a child. It is really impressive writing and complex thinking for a child, although the subject matter is not particularly interesting to me. A lot of it is politics and war, though there is a brazen hussy featured in one story. This is mostly of interest for Lewis fans and scholars, especially the first few stories.
