   Episode 29: Empty World by John Christopher

   John Christopher’s 1977 children’s novel about the end of the world is as grim as anything on a similar theme that he wrote for adults, just toned down for language and “themes.” In this episode I take a closer look at what it’s all about and why it enjoyed a bit of a renaissance just a few years ago.

   Episode 28: C. S. Lewis by A. N. Wilson

   A wonderfully bookish biography of a bookish person by another bookish person. This book is a delight for those who are fans of Lewis or even if you re not. Wilson is a fabulously erudite reteller of Lewis’s life and inspirations.
