This is a collection of letters from a senior devil to a junior devil. You may think that this sounds very dodgy and in lesser hands it may have been but C.S Lewis manages to stop it from being that.

I think C.S.Lewis was a really great author. His series: The Chronicles of Narnia must be among some of the best-loved childrens' classics and I must admit to still reading them every once in a while too! Although they are wonderful fairy tales for children, when you go deeper, you realise that they are so much more than fairy tales. C.S.Lewis was a Christian and it is evident that he was strongly influenced by his faith when writing these books. On top of Aslan symbolising a Christ-like figure, there are lots of parts and certain lines that jump out at me as I'm reading the books that show Lewis' interpretation of the Christian faith. The fact that ... Read the complete review
