Random book from our personal library.
This was my favorite book as a child, and the first one to really show me that books could take me to other places, worlds…

We entered two summer reading program. Our rural library did raffle tickets and we both one prizes!
I had to push myself to finish this but glad I read to the end to get to the conclusion and understand the full intent of the letters. It‘s a short read with old English. I enjoyed the P.S. of “Screwtape Proposes a Toast” a bit more than the letters themselves, and the Preface to them where Lewis provided context of his metaphor to his views on American education. My mom gave me this copy with some of her notes about the book. A few of mine added.
A thoughtful, no-frills exploration of faith, morality, and human nature. Lewis breaks down complex ideas with clarity and grace. Deep without being preachy—definitely worth the read.
Finally read this after collecting the set. Unfortunately I‘d recently watched the later movie adaptation which is fairly close to the events in the book. As usual, some greater depth and understanding of characters and events through reading the book, and these increased the interest. Enjoyed, quite wholesome, and looking forward to Prince Caspian, the story of which I am quite unfamiliar.
