Thank you very much for this specific reference.
Do you know how Joseph Pearce referenced his article -- from letters of Lewis and/or JRRT?
I particularly liked this section:

Tolkien argued that, far from being lies, myths were the best way of conveying truths which would otherwise be inexpressible. We have come from God and inevitably the myths woven by us, though they contain error, reflect a splintered fragment of the true light, the eternal truth that is with God. Myths may be misguided, but they steer however shakily toward the true harbor, whereas materialistic 'progress' leads only to the abyss and to the power of evil.
