Everyone know C.S. Lewis, at least from
The Chronicles of Narnia. That was me. I have read some of the
Chronicles of Narnia and also The Screwtape Letters. I was only
familiar with C.S. Lewis on that level. When I had the chance to
read The Surprising Imagination of C.S. Lewis, I was very much
enlightened to the creative and imaginary individual he was.
This book is by no means an easy read.
It is very challenging, and I read just a little at a time. The
authors really take you deep into the imagination of C.S. Lewis by
looking at several of his works and the types of imagination used in
creating the characters and worlds you enter. I found myself being
challenged on what types of imagination I use in my everyday life.
I have to commend Jerry Root and Mark
Neal for the amount of research done to write this book. It is very
well written and detailed. I look forward to reading other C.S.
Lewis books and seeing them through a different light.
