    In a dedication to his goddaughter Lucy Barfield in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis explains that he wrote the story for her but realized as he began that girls grow up faster than books are written and published. He says that by the time the book is printed, she will be too old for fairy tales, but hopes that someday when she is older she will take it down from a shelf, dust it off, and share her thoughts on it with him, though he expects to be too deaf and old to understand.

    DEDICATION “My Dear Lucy,
    FAIRY TALE
    GODFATHER
    I wrote this story for you, but when I
    medium:
    BOOK DEDICATION began it I had not realized that girls grow
    quicker than books. As a result you are
    already too old for fairy tales, and by the
    time it is printed and bound you will be
    older still. But some day you will be old
    enough to start reading fairy tales again.
    You can then take it down from some
    upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you
    think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to
    hear, and too old to understand a word
    you say but I shall still be
    your affectionate Godfather,”
    — C. S. Lewis
