Whether you are a seasoned "mere Christian" or simply want to read the man you have heard so much about, this book is worth its weight in gold.Author Colin Duriez has given us this book to encourage exploration of the mental and imaginative world of C. S. Lewis, both scholar and storyteller. As the title suggests, it is composed in A-Z format for quick reference and casual perusal.Each entry is extensively cross-referenced giving the reader seemingly unlimited avenues to explore. We are also provided with an exhaustive list of his works (fiction and nonfiction), recommended readings, and more.Author Colin Duriez is General Books Editor at InterVarsity Press in England and a major authority on C. S. Lewis and his circle. He has done an outstanding job compiling this work.The Bottom Line: Even if you are not a fan of C. S. Lewis, you owe it to yourself to pick up this volume. An excellent companion or entry point to one of the 20th century's greatest creative minds.This is a must read.
With a mind as brilliant as that of C.S. Lewis, you know there's plenty to analyze and Colin Duriez does a magnificent job. This book is a valued accet to my collection of all things Lewis, and though I already knew a great deal about him I am learing more. Covering subjecets as broad as his love of George MacDonald's Phantastes, his friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien, or his views on spiritual longing, Colin Duriez helps us to see inside the mind of the greatest author of all time. This book is a must for any Lewis fan!
An indspensable achievement: deft, fair, thorough, accurate, convenient, and graceful beyond anything one has a right to expect in a reference work. Duriez both instructs with his easy-yet-encompassing erudition and delights with his deep understanding of Lewis. Most impressive is the detail, whether about essays and books, themes and images, or Lewis's life and the lives of others around him. In short, the worthy complement to Hooper's Companion & Guide.
