Despre lumea aceasta si despre alte lumi

C.S. Lewis explores fiction in this book of essays. He looks at fairy tales, science fiction, and writing for children. He also discusses the work of J.R.R. Tolkien and George Orwell.

The collection suits readers interested in stories and how writers make them. Lewis puts the story and the imagination first. He challenges critics of his time on these grounds. He also sees much shared ground between children's and adults' tastes.

Lewis describes how images sparked his own fairy tales. He rejects the claim that he planned them as lessons in Christian belief. Instead, he says, their Christian meaning grew within the stories.
