I only read the first chapter (The Peal of a Thousand Bells) to this literary study of great English writer C.S. Lewis. The first essay on the power of Lewis' imagination is well done. I wish I had read more of Lewis besides his The Screwtape Letters and Mere Christianity. His Chronicles of Narnia and Science Fiction as unknown to me. This book has a cover blurb from one of my former teachers, Paul Ford, who is an expert on Lewis' work.
