The big problem of reading books by Lewis and Tolkein is that I then need to read some dry nonfiction so that I don’t judge anyone else’s prose by theirs.
This is a retelling of Cupid & Psyche from the point of view of one of the sisters, which I absolutely would never have picked up unless it was by Lewis or similar because that could’ve gone so many #edgy #realistic places and instead it’s just diligently researched (by 1950s standards) and remarkably non-sexist? Even by more recent standards.
