Reading this thread just made me realise it's been years since i read The Chronicles of Narnia! I loved them when i was younger and hadn't discovered Middle Earth. LotR will always be my favourite, but i definitely want to reread the chronicles and take all these points into account when i read it, i'm really interested in the similarities now!
And i think Lewis and Tolkiens friendship waned for various reasons. One, i seem to remember, was Lewis's faith, and i think another main reason was Lewis's marriage to a divorcee. I think Tolkien disapproved of this. I couldn't remember all the details without looking up more, but that's what i remember from the research i did for an english talk.
