The Fairy Godmother of Narnia

The Fairy Godmother of Narnia, written by Reggie Weems and illustrated by Amy Harrison, is the second book in the Jack and Lizzie Adventure series.

Before there was a wardrobe… there was a woman who opened a boy’s imagination.

The Chronicles of Narnia stands as one of the most beloved literary worlds ever created. Millions have explored its snowy forests, talking beasts, and shining thrones—but few know the story behind the stories.

In The Fairy Godmother of Narnia, author Reggie Weems takes readers behind the scenes of C.S. Lewis’s imagination and introduces us to a nearly forgotten figure who helped shape it all: Lizzie Endicott, young “Jack” Lewis’s devoted nanny and master storyteller.

Long before Narnia had a name, Lizzie filled Jack’s childhood with wonder. Through her kindness, creativity, and vivid tales, she planted the seeds that would one day bloom into fauns, lions, and enchanted lands. Lewis would later remember her fondly in Surprised by Joy, and her influence echoes throughout the characters and themes of Narnia.

This beautifully written and illustrated book uncovers the real-life inspiration behind Lewis’s fantasy world and celebrates the quiet, powerful role of a woman who changed literary history—not with fame, but with faithfulness, imagination, and love.
