This was really interesting. While it's supposedly about Tolkien, Lewis, Barfield, and Williams, the vast majority is about Tolkien and Lewis - this is fine as they were the two I was most interested in. There's a lot of information and detail in this. I got a little annoyed with how precious Tolkien (Lewis to a lesser degree) was with his writing, but it's to be expected when you know how much work was put into all the LotR and related books. I learned so much in this and probably would have gotten a bit more out of it if I was more familiar with all the writings discussed. Really excellent.
