Yes! I have heard that Tolkien said that no book with a lamppost in it could be a good fantasy book, so Lewis put the lamppost in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I don't have proof, but I've read it somewhere.AdamRedWolf wrote: ↑19 Nov 2019, 11:41 I had heard that Lewis wrote both the Space Trilogy and Chronicles of Narnia to answer challenges by Tolkien. Supposedly Tolkien told Lewis he could never write fiction, so he was compelled to write both fantasy and sci-fi to prove Tolkien wrong.

I, personally, love his theological books as well and think that they can still offer readers a lot even if they don't have the same beliefs. But I also realize that not a lot of people feel the same. For those that are interested, a few of my favorites are The Weight of Glory, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, The Four Loves, and, for those that want to dive right in, his classic Mere Christianity.
