I remember reading about that. Apparently J.R.R. Tolkien had been writing the LOTR books for some time and his friend C.S. Lewis started writing his Narnia books at some point after that. So Tolkien may have felt that Lewis was invading his turf a bit. Not to mention from what I remember he felt that the Narnia books contents weren't as serious as LOTR. "The love life of a fawn" etc.
