Title: Great Collection of Short Works
Review: The book is a collection of short works, originally given as sermons, homilies, talks, or addresses. Each one is a gem. In Lewis's day, such oral presentations were written out ahead of time and then read. Thus, they were short but very "idea-dense." You had to listen carefully, but only for 20 minutes. (Modern-day pastors/speakers should take note!!) You can profitably read them as essays, but need to keep in mind that they were intended to be delivered orally by the author to a specific audience (sometimes with discussion to follow). My only disappointment is that Lewis didn't do this often enough. I wish there were four more volumes to buy.
