A fascinating look at the fantasy and philosophy of C. S. Lewis and J. R. 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. " --Richard Purtill, Author, J. R. R. Tolkien: Myth, Morality, and Religion
