Did CS Lewis influence tolkiens writings in any way?? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Where did you read this, littlemanpoet? I've been wondering what "Tollers" thought of "Jack's" books, since he hated allegory. It's understandable, though. While I like Narnia well enough, C.S. Lewis' other works were much better. I highly recomend "Till We Have Faces" and "Mere Christianity" to everyone who liked Narnia. Also, "The Screwtape Letters" are hilarious and enlightening. Anyone know if that one was published before or after Narnia?
