I read this book years ago and enjoyed it. I also read most of C.S. Lewis's other books and enjoyed them all. I should probably read them again.

It was directed by Richard Attenborough with a screenplay by William Nicholson based on his 1985 television film and 1989 stage play of the same

The scene between C.S. Lewis and little Douglas at the end gets me every time.   :sad:

I recently went back and reread Lewis' "Out Of The Silent Planet" trilogy, having initially read it back in the early/mid 70's, and was chilled by how the final book, "That Hideous Strength", went from being fiction the first time I read it, to being descriptive of so much reality that has happened in the last couple of decades.

Amazing read.
