Have you read it?

One of my most memorable childhood reads!

Especially That Hideous Strength. Simplifying deception and betrayal for young minds to get ahold of.

I think this was my first understanding of what real evil is. I read this when I was like 8 or 9.

Have you read this?

Have you read other Lewis?

Much love!

Oh, he is my favorite author!!! I am not sure if I ever did read "That Hideous Strength" but I did read "Mere Christianity" and (my fave) The Screwtape Letters" and have read them several times over the decades. The Screwtape Letters is so enlightening as to how Satan and his minions work in our lives...eye opening! ♥

Have you had a chance to see the play? I don't know if this is in your area or not. My wife and I went some years ago, it was really amazing! The whole 2nd half I was on the edge of me seat!
