Has anyone read The Dark Tower? It is something like Tolkien's Unfinished Tales in that they are the stories that Lewis never finished before he died. In my opinion, they are some of his best works. The breakoff point in the first one, which is amply long enough to completely ensnare you, is most grueling.
What Laredith mentioned about Lewis "seeing" the beginning of the Chronicles reminded me of a passage somewhere therein where one of Lewis's friends says that after Joy (his wife) died, he seemed to have lost the power of "seeing pictures". It was very sad.
