Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a good bibliography and/or lectures about C.S. Lewis and his work. Can anyone recommend anything? :)

And I should say I've read Lewis' own autobiography, Surprised by Joy, already :)

The Narnian by Alan Jacobs is a pretty good bibliography. I read it a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I've also heard C.S. Lewis - A Life by Alister McGrath is a good one, but I haven't read it yet.

Not sure this fits in with what you are looking for, but have you ever listened to any lectures given by C.S. Lewis. There are only a few surviving, but it is wonderful to hear his voice!

Hi Valiant, just want to clarify - do you want a biography of Lewis (his life) or a bibliography (a list of books about him) ?

For biography, I recommend George Sayer's one,

For bibliography, a good place to start is the website Into the Wardrobe.

There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.
"...when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards."

Hi Coracle,

Either would be good. I will check out both those recommendations! Thanks :)
