Etymology
Boxen was invented by C. S. Lewis and his brother for their childhood stories and drawings and comes from the simple word box, like the toy 'boxes' children play with. A helpful way to remember it is to imagine a small make-believe land made of 'boxes', which fits because Boxen is the brothers' fictional world.
