How can I find a book that I don't know the title of?

For years I've been wanting to re-read a book from my childhood, but I can't remember the title or the author, although I have a pretty good recall of the plot. Does anyone know of a website where you can search key words from the text of the book, or key words about the plot? [hopeful emoticon]

I never located my copy of the Lion the WItch and the Wardrob for DS1 recently despite what I thought was an exhaustive search. Wasn't with the other "L" authors

This one has sound

DS is now sitting on my lap signing along.

I had forgotten about this, thank you.

You can all bog off. I knew the answer to the original question, you just googled for a thread hijack question.
