If they were musicians, Tolkien would be a classical player, but Lewis would play jazz...

It does help to watch it live. Which is probably why I love these little imaginary flights.

Love this so much. I’m surprised Lewis doesn’t fire back about Tom Bombadil showing up or The Hobbit being in a different continuity.

Well, in *Till We Have Faces* Lewis was less grab-bag. Much depends on the aesthetic effect desired.
