A Very Well Read Series of Short Lytics

As an audiobook this narration is outstanding. However these lyrics are not simple and required my full attention. I had to read all of these repeatedly just to begin to comprehend them. I really like the opportunity to read very early work of C. S. Lewis published in 1919. This is not the C. S. Lewis that I am used to. My sense is he was affected by World War I as were many others. I also felt a sense of the seeds of thought of The Chronicles of Narnia. Very interesting, but not simple. Thank You…

Poetry

I am not a big fan of poetry so I gave it a lower rating. I agree that this is not the best of Lewis’s works, though the interesting fact is that he wrote most of these while he served in the First World War and before he became a Christian, yet they still carry heavy spiritual tones. It gives a brief look into the mind of the younger Lewis.
