Last night while my husband and 17 year old son watched the football game, they were chatting about the book my son is reading—C.S. Lewis’s “The Great Divorce.” I could hear my son reading quotes to my husband from the book and then getting very excited about what he was reading. I have to say that it warmed my heart!

I would be pleased also with my child reading C. S. Lewis.

That is fantastic. My 16 year old daughter has probably read all of Lewis’s fictional books 4 or 5 times. Anyone who can read and understand any of his books has a good, if not excellent, grasp of the English language and will be successful in other endeavours.
