Out of the Silent Planet, book one, Perelandra, book two, and That Hideous Strength, book three.

The books are science fiction and Christian allegory. Like much of Lewis' work, it is beautiful, but it shows its age. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

I became interested in his work when I was a library cataloger in Wheaton, IL. Wheaton College had a small, but lovely C.S. Lewis museum. They had his greatcoat, his desk and his wardrobe(!!!). They had his manuscripts, too, and were in the process of acquiring more items. At that time, the museum was open by appointment only. I don't know what it is like now.

Sounds like a Robert Ludlum novel OffWithTheirHeads Apr 2012 #1
