About the book:
 A Complete Guide to 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.

The
A – Z of C. S. Lewis is a comprehensive introduction to C. S. Lewis’s life,
family, friends, career, marriage, and writings, as well as the worlds he
created, the creatures that he imagined, and the studies he delighted in. It’s also a volume that I wish that I had had
close at hand when I was reading many of Lewis’s works. The entries (in encyclopedic form,
alphabetically listed) provide rich background for practically every important
aspect of Lewis’s life, thought and works.
An asterisk clues the reader in to the fact that there is another
important entry to be found elsewhere in this volume.
The
entries provide enough information to enable the reader to better appreciate
Lewis’s writings, without boring the reader or inundating the reader with a
glut of inconsequential details. And the
hardbound volume, at a size of
5
stars for an outstanding addition to a Christian library
