If you've read several books by C. S. Lewis, you'll probably find this book fascinating. All of Lewis's ideas about the afterlife gathered together in one book makes for a thrilling read. You'll be reminded why you long for the real heaven--a longing that is, above everything else, a longing for God himself. We would all do well to think more on the substance of heaven and hell, for those who see the reality of the unseen--who, like the ancients, 'desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one'--are those who live more nobly—more faithfully—upon this earth.

Epigraph
Is there a king of earth with dominion so vast from north to south that he hath both winter and summer together?
Is there a king of earth with a dominion so vast from east to west that he hath both night and day together?
So much more hat God both judgment and mercy together.

ADAPTED FROM JOHN DONNE
"There was a real railway accident," said Aslan softly. "Your father and mother and all of you are--as you used to call it in the Shadowlands--dead. The term is over: the holidays have begun. The dream is ended: this is the morning."

THE LAST BATTLE
"I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now."

THE LAST BATTLE;
JEWEL THE UNICORN ON ARRIVING IN ASLAN'S COUNTRY, HEAVEN
Dedication
For my grandson

JOSHUA WAYNE ELSEN
First words
[Foreward] This splendid book has corrected a serious error in my understanding of C. S. Lewis's works.
[Introduction] I begin with a confession. I have not always wanted to go to Heaven.
I have confessed that for ever so long, Heaven simply held no fascination for me.
