The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
C. S. Lewis was a British author, lay theologian, and contemporary of J.R.R. Tolkien. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the first book in The Chronicles of Narnia.
The Magician's Book
Enchanted by Narnia's fantastic world as a child, prominent critic Laura Miller returns to the series as an adult to uncover the source of these small books' mysterious power by looking at their creator, Clive Staples Lewis. What she discovers is not the familiar, idealized image of the author, but a more interesting and ambiguous truth: Lewis's tragic and troubled childhood, his unconventional love life, and his intense but ultimately doomed friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien. Finally reclaiming Narnia "for the rest of us," Miller casts the Chronicles as a profoundly literary creation, and the portal to a lifelong adventure in books, art, and the imagination.

Selected Literary Essays
This volume includes over twenty of C. S. Lewis's most important literary essays, written between 1932 and 1962. The topics discussed range from Chaucer to Kipling, from 'The Literary Impact of the Authorized Version' to 'Psycho-Analysis and Literary Criticism,' from Shakespeare and Bunyan to Sir Walter Scott and William Morris. Common to each essay, however, is the lively wit, the distinctive forthrightness and the discreet erudition which characterizes Lewis's best critical writing.
The Skeleton in the Wardrobe
A startling book from a prolific and admired British scholar-critic of literature and its place in education. Upon confronting the Narnia stories and adult fantasies of C. S. Lewis, Holbrook uncovers disturbing evidence of psychic fears and aggressive solutions that seem antithetical to Christian values and thus to Lewis's reputation. Writers of children's books must be able to depict a world as children envision it, but Lewis's childhood was marked by the death of his mother, neglect from his father, and perverse cruelty from a demented schoolmaster. Holbrook demonstrates how these traumatic experiences are reflected in each of the seven Narnia books, with additional chapters on That Hideous Strength, Perelandra, and Till We Have Faces. Such psychoanalytic interpretations can become doctrinaire and extreme, and Holbrook does at times transform seemingly innocent episodes and names into somber equivalents, yet this is a striking and highly original study that all C. S. Lewis enthusiasts must read.
The Return to Narnia: the Rescue of Prince Caspian
