Why this story must be read:

This lovely crossover with the Sandman brings out the best in both worlds, while retaining that wonder that readers of Narnia first come to with the books. It also puts this somewhat popular context into perhaps a more age-appropriate context via the careful use of a magical mirror, as one is wont to do.

Lucy, called the Valiant, Brave and Lovely Queen of Narnia, was not presently feeling valiant at all. She was puzzled, and not by great and solemn affairs of state as one might expect, but over a piece of furniture. Now, those who know the story of how Lucy and her brothers and sister came to Narnia might think that she had good cause to fret over a piece of furniture. This, however, was no strange forgotten piece brought up from a back room. It was a newly carved, wooden-framed floor mirror, and it came from the shop of a well-known and respected craftsman. (Perhaps to be perfectly fair, it should be mentioned that the woodworker's son later did not become a master craftsman himself, but a respected magician, but no one knew this at the time.)
