About The A-Z of C.S. Lewis An Encyclopedia of His Life, Thoughts and Writings: Published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of C. S. Lewis's death, this complete guide covers all of Lewis' works, from his literary criticism to Narnia.

C. S. Lewis's work is widely known and regarded, but enthusiasts are often only aware of one part of his work-his children's stories and his popular theology; and yet he wrote so much more, including science fiction and literary criticism. This volume brings together all aspects of C S Lewis's life and thought. Arranged in alphabetical order, it begins with The Abolition of Man-written in 1943 and described as "almost my favorite"-to Wormwood, a character in The Screwtape Letters. This book will delight anyone who is interested in C. S. Lewis and wants to learn more about him, his thought, his works, and his life.

Purchase a copy here for $24.95 RV.

My thoughts: Many times I will be thinking or talking to someone about something from a book I have read and I forget which book it was in or I forget the name of a person. With this book I don't have to go back and look through all the books that C.S. Lewis wrote, I just just look it up alphabetically. My nine year old was listening to his teacher read "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" in his classroom for the past few weeks and he would come home and look stuff up in the book every day. This book is a great addition to my home library.
