JRRT and C.S. Lewis - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

We have complementary threads on Tolkien and Lewis in both Book venues at the downs. I encourage you all to check the other one out, too. My thanks, Child, for the insight into Charles Williams. I had forgotten about that piece of the puzzle.

For C.S. Lewis' BEST work of art, read 'Till We Have Faces', a modern retelling of the Greek myth of Eros and Psyche - from the point of view of the jealous sister. Lewis' faith is woven into the fabric of this novel, rather than bleeding from it as in the Narnia Chronicles. ouch - the way that sounds you'd think I hated the Narnia Chronicles - not so, but Middle Earth just is better.
