The Further Up and Further In Mug

Further Up and Further In Mug

“Further up and further in.” Few lines in modern children's literature carry so much hope and meaning in so few words.

Spoken at the close of The Last Battle, the phrase captures Lewis’s conviction that the truest endings are not diminutions but expansions—that heaven is not less solid than earth, but more so; that joy does not conclude, it deepens. What appears to be the end of the story is, in fact, the beginning of one more real, more beautiful, and more alive than anything that came before.

This mug is a quiet tribute to that vision. It’s for readers who know that longing is not a flaw, that imagination trains the heart for glory, and that every good thing hints at something further in still. Whether at a desk, a kitchen table, or a fireside chair, it’s a reminder that the best chapters are always ahead.

Because the truest stories don’t wind down—they draw us upward. And inward.
