Books like Sleuthing C.S. Lewis by Kathryn Ann Lindskoog
"Kathryn Lindskoog, of whom C. S. Lewis said that she knows his work better than anyone, has some serious questions for the guardians of the gates of the C. S. Lewis estate. Her careful, meticulous research results in many questions that no one seems to want to answer. Did Lewis write the posthumous book The Dark Tower? Or, was it written by someone connected to the estate? Who owns the C. S. Lewis estate? Is what the estate saying about Lewis true or false?
Finally, the scandal of the Chronicles of Narnia may be the biggest and most misleading of all. Rearranging the order of the books against Lewis's wishes is just a minor part of the problem.".
"Lindskoog answers these and a multitude of other questions regarding the keepers of the keys to one of the most significant estates in literary history. Anyone who reads this book will be enlightened to one of the greatest literary frauds in history. While Lindskoog offers a veritable wall of granite-like evidence she does not set here the final word. The book is but a beacon to join in the quest to discover the truth.
This is a manifesto regarding the integrity and honesty of literary estates in general, and a daring quest to find answers to significant questions regarding the Lewis estate in particular."--BOOK JACKET.

C.S. Lewis has been called the greatest Christian writer of the 20th century. Few writers have touched so many lives and excited so many fans. Since his death in 1963, more than 200 million copies of his books have been sold worldwide and none has ever been out of print. His books have entertained millions and helped countless others on spiritual journeys of their own. In this one-of-a-kind "oral history," several people who knew C.S. Lewis explore how a provincial Oxford don emerged as one of the most powerful literary figures of his time. Written as a companion to the first American documentary film on Lewis' life and work, this book records conversations with Lewis' stepson, with the editor of several collections on Lewis, and with noted Lewis scholars as they marvel at the man who gave the world such best-selling classics as The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia, Mere Christianity, Perelandra, and A Grief Observed. - Jacket.
