Organized in sections dedicated to the central ideas, events, people, and works from his remarkable career, this delightful compendiumis an indispensable reference for Lewis devotees and novices alike. From the spiritual searching of his early years through his prolific literary and intellectual career, C.S. Lewis Companion & Guide provides keen insight into Lewis' legacy.
In this definitive one volume reference, one of Lewis's keenest interpreters engagingly and authoritatively illuminates the work of the scholar, author, and essayist while insightfully exploring the man behind the writings.
An immense fund of information about Lewis' life and works, marred only mildly by the author's uncritcal devotion to his subject and a few surprising omissions. (There is no section on The Allegory of Love, the book that established Lewis's scholarly reputation.) My review is at http://stromata.tripod.com/id77.htm
