C.S. Lewis Encyclopedia
The Encyclopedia of C.S.Lewis is incredibly well reserched and written. It begins a fascinating insight into the complexities and capabilities of one of the world's most famous children's authors. The knowledge of Lewis's creative life and his many thoughts and beliefs lend this book an autobiographical edge but with the benefit of tightening its areas to alphabetical snippets. A fascinating read for anyone looking to understand about Lewis the man, discover more about Narnia's inspirations and background references, or simply to pick up and indulge in parts of the list that makes up a vivid picture of this multi-faceted creator.
