The exhaustive and definitive guide to the entire works of C. S. Lewis, including Narnia, the science fiction and the literary works. Clive Staples Lewis wrote some of the most enduring religious and fantasy literature of the 20th century. His best loved classics such as 'The Screwtape Letters, Mere Christianity, Surprised by Joy, ' and 'The Problem of Pain', continue to sell in their thousands and are surpassed only by his allegorical series of children's books, based in the imaginary world of Narnia. The most popular of these, 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, ' has been adapted for film and television. His life became the basis for the movie 'Shadowlands' which starred Anthony Hopkins. Lewis died in 1963, but more than thirty years later his work remains at the forefront of popular appeal. Now Walter Hooper, one of the world's leading scholars of C. S. Lewis's work, has written the definitive C. S. Lewis handbook. Covering every type of publication -- The Chronicles of Narnia, science fiction, literary criticism and religious -- it features: * A chronology of the events of Lewis's life and a brief biography * Detailed descriptions of the background and contents of each of
