Spufford spent three years working on the fanfic, which is apparently novel-length, which is not an inconsiderable time period for one fic. ![]() This is a fertile area for exploration - and the title and premise feel potentially like Lewis inventions - and indeed this period has been discussed many times by Narnia fans over the years.įrancis Spufford - who has previously published exactly one novel ( Golden Hill, in 2016, which won the Costa Book Award) - wrote the fanfic for his daughter, who had complained that her father had not written any books she felt like she could read (Spufford has mostly written non-fiction on adult subjects).
