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.

My review

I was very excited when I was asked to review this book. The book tells the story of C.S. Lewis in letter chapters that tell not only the books he has written but his life also. I like the way it is in alphabetical order so it is easier to look up what ever you want to know. It is an interesting book to thumb through not only to find out certain items but just to read. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group and all opinions are my own.
