Leah told NarniaFans that the book is a collection of essays by various Young Adult writers on the Chronicles of Narnia. She says that it is geared towards a pre-teen to teen audience, but thinks that it will also be a great read for older NarniaFans.
Look for my review to be posted here at NarniaFans in the next couple of days.
