The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Lewis very much enjoyed writing "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and embarked on the sequel "Prince Caspian" soon after finishing the first novel. He completed the sequel by end of 1949, less than a year after finishing the initial book. "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" had few readers during 1949 and was not published until late in 1950, so his initial enthusiasm did not stem from favourable reception by the public.
