Reflections on Wonder and Fantasy from One of the Greatest Writers of Our Time
A repackaged edition of the revered author's treasury of essays and stories which examine the value of creative writing and imaginative exploration.
C. S. Lewis said, No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty--except, of course, books of information. The only imaginative works we ought to grow out of are those which it would have been better not to have read at all.
In Of Other Worlds, C. S. Lewis--the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics--presents a well-reasoned case for the importance of story and wonder, elements often ignored by critics of his time. He also discusses his favorite kinds of stories--children's stories and fantasies--and offers insights into his most famous works, The Chronicles of Narnia and the Space Trilogy.
This book provides a deeper look into Lewis's thoughts and opinions on literary criticism and is a great read for longtime fans and new readers of Lewis.
