TO LUCY BARFIELD
My Dear Lucy,
I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realised 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 afectionate Godfather,
C. S.Lewis
致露西·巴菲尔德
亲爱的露西，
我为你写下这个故事，只是提笔时未曾想，你成长的速度超过我写故事的速度，你现在甚至已经过了读童话的年纪。等到此书付梓装订，你年岁愈增。但是他日某天，你会长到重新翻看童话的年龄。到那时，你可以将本书从高阁取下，掸去灰尘，告诉我你的读后感想。可能那时我年事已高，耳聋到听不清你说话，也不明白你讲的任何一个字，但我一直都是
深爱你的教父，
C. S.刘易斯
