C.S. Lewis: finding God when we thought we were alone

So I took it that you were generalizing about the totality of Lewis’s imaginative writing.

I wasn’t, but I could have. Lewis didn’t have much imagination, really. And building a world requires more than just making up any story about some imagined world. Still, I don’t feel like quibbling with you over definitions.

Narnia was meant to be a children’s book.

So was The Hobbit.

@Eddie

Still, Lewis does create an imaginative world in it, and that’s the only point I was trying to make.

I would disagree that Narnia was at all imaginative. It was of course imaginary, but that’s hardly the same thing. If you want to defend Lewis’s imagination, you will have to try something else.
