As part of the ongoing Community Reads programming featuring C.S. Lewis’s “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe,” the Mooresville Public Library will welcome author and Montreat College professor Don W. King on April 8.

King, an English professor and faculty fellow, has published ten books, including “C. S. Lewis, Poet: The Legacy of His Poetic Impulse,” “Plain to the Inward Eye: Selected Essays on C. S. Lewis,” and “The Collected Poems of C. S. Lewis: A Critical Edition.”

His visit will feature two sessions, with the first geared towards children (grade 4 and up), with a planned topic of how the Narnia series came about. This session will start at 6:30 p.m. in the Youth Services Community Room.

The second session, at 7:45 p.m. in the Selma Burke Room, is aimed at adults and will take a closer look at how and why C.S. Lewis became a writer, along with a complete chronological bibliography of Lewis’s works. Refreshments will be served in between both sessions.
