What a storyteller! I am totally in awe after reading Chronicles of Narnia.

Does he have anything else that even comes close to the perfection of this book?

Two of my favorites by him have been 'Til We have Faces (the Psyche/Cupid myth retold) and A Grief Observed (non-fiction musings after his wife died).

Folks are gonna come in here and tell you about the Space Trilogy : Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, That Hideous Strength. I haven't read them, always meant to, just haven't gotten around to them.

I have a copy of The Dark Tower, I just haven't read that one either, yet.

There's a gazillion more : Screwtape Letters, Mere Christianity, poetry, .... all sorts of stuff. I've been slowly working my way through the Four Loves.

I was really disappointed with the space trilogy, but I must say I'm curious about those other books you mentioned.

The Great Divorce: very arresting concepts and features advice from the author George MacDonald whose books Lilith and Phantastes I highly recommend. He was an inspiration to Lewis and Tolkien and wrote some of the first true fantasy stories.

Screwtape Letters!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exciting, fun, and sobering to read.

Take care and enjoy!
