The Lion's Country

Charlie W. Starr is professor of English at Alderson Broaddus University and visiting professor of Inklings studies at Northwind Seminary. He teaches, writes, and lectures on classic and American literature, film, humanities, and theology, and on the works of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. An expert on C. S. Lewis's handwriting, he is also the author of The Faun's Bookshelf: C. S. Lewis on Why Myth Matters.

"In The Lion's Country, Charlie Starr skillfully guides us through Lewis's theory of reality, a world of fine distinctions and conceptual and linguistic pitfalls. After finishing, readers will be well equipped to journey further on their own. Clear, engaging, and insightful." -Devin Brown, professor of English at Asbury University and author of A Life Observed: A Spiritual Biography of C. S. Lewis "Starr has provided us with a new thread to weave together the many different works in many different genres that flowed from Lewis's pen over a quarter century." -Louis Markos, professor of English and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University and author of The Life and Writings of C. S. Lewis, C. S. Lewis for Beginners, The Myth Made Fact "Starr, a professor of English at Alderson Broaddus University who is also an expert on Lewis's handwriting, has a deep and intimate knowledge of Lewis's full body of work. In his new book, he marshals that knowledge for a single purpose: to tease out what Lewis had to say in his fiction, nonfiction, essays, letters, and sermons about the nature of reality. .... Such wonders await the reader who, guided by Starr, ventures into the realms of C. S. Lewis."-Christianity Today
