The book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is number one in the seven-book series of the Chronicles of Narnia. The 1st draft was finished by English author Clive Staples Lewis in 1949 and was released the following year. The book uses a bunch of Persian and Turkish words. Aslan, for instance, is the Turkish for Lion while Jadis is a Persian word meaning hag. In the meantime, the world of Narnia was named after a city in Italy called Narni.It is assumed the inspiration for Peter, Susan, Edmund, Lucy and the whole book itself came when C.S. Lewis became host to four children during WW2. As a teenager, Lewis experienced carrying parcels and an umbrella while in the woods, which became the inspiration for his outline of the faun when he met Lucy.

Book Illustration

The famous book illustrator Pauline Diana Baynes, who also illustrated for J.R.R. Tolkien, is best known for her line drawings of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. She completed a grand total of 350 drawings for the book, including the popular illustration of Ann walking together with the faun under the umbrella and into the snow covered woods. Though the relationship between Baynes and Lewis were tainted (primarily thanks to the author’s feedback of her drawings), the illustrations made by her are still the most strongly associated to the book regardless of the advancements in 3D animation of today. The illustrations of Aslan and of the mouse Reepicheep are two other drawings which immortalize Baynes. In 1998, she enhanced her drawings by adding colours to them.

Stamps

The book the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was so popular in the home country of C.S. Lewis that in 1998 the Royal Mail issued a stamp based mostly on it. In 2005, New Zealand released 45-cent stamps which depict Lucy about to open the magical wardrobe and discover the world of Narnia. Lucy was also featured in a $2 New Zealand stamp as she keeps vigil over the fallen Aslan. In the meantime, a daunting picture of the frozen army is pictured in a $1.50 stamp.

Lewis ‘ Grit

As a writer, C.S. Lewis initially targeted on educational, non secular, and Sci Fi works. When he announced his intent to write children’s literature, many of his friends attempted to dissuade him out of his call. For them, leaping into writing a novel for youngsters would hurt Lewis ‘ status as a rather serious writer. Also, his chum J.R.R. Tolkien who wrote the Lord of the Rings, heavily was critical of the book while it was still in progress. Fortunately , C.S. Lewis persisted regardless of the information of his friends and produced some of the most well liked books in children’s literature. Since the completion of the Chronicles of Narnia series, there were a sum total of 100 million copies sold. There have also been numerous radio, television, stage, and flick adaptations of the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, the most prominent being the 2005 movie by Walt Disney Pictures.

All the best Internet marketers use ebooks as part of their major promotional campaigns. The reason for this is that many individuals like to read free ebooks on subjects that interest them in their eternal search for more information. A lot of people wold rather surf the Net now than read a book.

I do both, but I can completely understand people who prefer to surf and increase their level of knowledge than read some writer’s fantasies that ultimately they will forget.

If you would like to run a successful ebook advertising campaign, it is these individuals that you need to target, because many surfers for information also pass interesting articles and ebooks on to friends that will appreciate them.

Therefore, the first thing that you need is an interesting topic.. Select a topic that interests a lot of individuals, but be suspicious of going for a huge issue that everybody writes on, because of the competition, unless you have a unique context. Instances of saturated markets are: ‘How To lose Weight Quickly’ and ‘How To Get My Boyfriend Back’.

So, once you have a popular issue in a non-saturated market, you require a catchy title. The title should be intriguing – it has to make the reader want to know more: ‘How to…’ and ‘The Best Way To…’, so is ‘7 Ways to…’. Write down twelve titles and read them aloud.

Once you have your title, you have to tailor good quality content on it. Make sure that you stay targeted on the title for an piece. If you are composing an ebook, how long is it going to become? Think of chapter titles on the book title. Allow 500-1,000 words per chapter, so if you would like a book of 20,000 words, you will require about 25-35 chapters. Keep each chapter’s content focused on the chapter’s title.

When you have composed your ebook, write a list of contents and a list of relevant links (back to your website(s)) and place an ad for your product on the same page as the table of contents. Put it in the footer of each page if you like and find a good, relevant image for the book cover.

PDF format can be read by any other computer, so you will not be excluding possible clients and it can be rebranded, but not so easily. It is the best format if you are giving your book away, but EXE might be better if you would like affiliates to help you sell it.

Compression is vital to people who do not have a fast Internet connection, but use a common compression technique that comes with free with most computers like WinZip or individuals will be confused.

Send your ebook to ebook libraries for free distribution. Offer owners of substantial newsletters the opportunity of a free advert in your book, if they will put a link to it in their next newsletter. Make certain you select a newsletter on a related issue for increased success.
