C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were close friends and reviewed each others works.
Tolkien was a life long Catholic, but he carefully avoided allegory in his works
C.S. Lewis was a Pagan turned Protestant and made free and unabashed use of allegory

Both are brilliant writers, deeply versed in language structure and history
Both are well worth reading, within their own context

My personal favorite of the Lewis books is "Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold"
His books are some of the very few I've read that are better with repeat reading

"C.S. Lewis was a Pagan turned Protestant and made free and unabashed use of allegory"

A Pagan? Where do you get that from? Lewis grew up Christian then became an athiest, then got interested in occult phenomena, then converted to Christianity. Where does Pagan come in? Simply being interested in the paranormal does not make one a Pagan unless you have an extremely loose definition of Paganism.

I am much looking forward to the Narnai movie, provided Disney doesn't PC it to death.
