A fascinating look at the fantasy and philosophy of C.
Lewis and J.
R Tolkien.
The two men were friends and fellow professors at Oxford, renowned Christian thinkers who both found it necessary to create for the purposes of their fiction other worlds--not utopias or dystopias, but different worlds.
The great importance of Lewis and Tolkien] is that they have succeeded in restating certain traditional values--in a way that they make an imaginative appeal to a very wide audience, young and old, traditionalist and non-traditionalist.
