The A-Z of C.S. Lewis : A Complete Guide to His Life, Thoughts and Writings by Colin Duriez

Book Info

About the book:  A Complete Guide to His Life, Thoughts and Writings Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of C. S. Lewis's death, this complete guide covers all of Lewis' works, from his literary criticism to Narnia. C. S. Lewis's work is widely known and regarded, but enthusiasts are often only aware of one part of his work-his children's stories and his popular theology; and yet he wrote so much more, including science fiction and literary criticism. This volume brings together all aspects of C S Lewis's life and thought. Arranged in alphabetical order, it begins with The Abolition of Man-written in 1943 and described as "almost my favorite"-to Wormwood, a character in The Screwtape Letters. This book will delight anyone who is interested in C. S. Lewis and wants to learn more about him, his thought, his works, and his life.

He has subsequently appeared as a commentator on DVDs of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings, and BBC television's The Worlds of Fantasy. He is also the author of The Inklings Handbook(with the late David Porter), J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis: The Story of Their Friendship, and Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings, and has contributed to definitive reference works relating to Tolkien such as The Tolkien Encyclopedia(Routledge). My Take:  This is a must have if you are C. S. Lewis fan.  It is not a novel that you read from cover to cover but a handy book to have on hand when you want to look up something that you read in one of his works like (I just randomly opened the book to ) Fire-berry in the story of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  This is a nice book for that sort of thing.   I received a review copy of this book from Litfuse in exchange for my honest opinion.
