Tolkien criticised(sp) Lewis's work "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" because according to Jrr Lewis didn't develop a careful mythology as basis.
What subtitle did he give to this work of Lewis?

A split in the friendship
Are you referring to Tolkien's comment to Roger Green?
Tolkien dismissed LWW after hearing it read with the complaint, "Nymphs and their Ways, The Love-Life of a Faun"

What are friends for?
Hrum, Hroom Let me not be too hasty getting a new question up!
What did Tolkien tell Nevill Coghill about Treebeard?

He told him that he modeled Treebeard's way of speaking on C. S. Lewis' booming voice. Hm, hoom!

Which two characters in Tolkien's works are quite autobiographical, telling us about his thoughts and feelings more directly than any other characters?
