The Silver Chair is the penultimate book in the Chronicles of Narnia series byCSLewis. It also happens to be (after much internal deliberation) my favourite of the series, beating "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" by a hair's breadth)...
As in all but one of the previous novels, The Silver Chair involves some children being plucked out of our world and into the realm of Narnia, a place similar to our own but with the addition of talking beasts and certain mythological figures (such as Dryads, Fauns, Centaurs and the like). It is ruled by a King who acts on behalf of Aslan, the great lion who just happens to have also created the world of Narnia.

Unfortunately the two scientists who brought Ransom to Malacandra are not there to learn, nor to benefit from the wisdom of those who live there.

Manufacturer's product description
This autobiography of C.S.Lewis's early life focusing on the spiritual crisis which was to determine the shape of his entire life now repackaged and rebranded as a key title in the C.S. Lewis Signature Classics range. In the Trinity Term of 1929 I gave in and admitted that God was God...perhaps the most dejeced and reluctant convert in all England." Thus C.S. Lewis describes memorably the crisis of his conversion in his famous autobiography. Lewis was for many years an atheist and in Surprised by Joy he vividly describes the spiritual quest which eventually convinced him of the truth and reality of the Christian faith."
