tolkien is a great friend of my favorite author, c.s. lewis. what amazes me about these two great writers are they came from different Christian churches, but have inspired me with their friendship. C.S. Lewis is a well respected writer especially by fellow Christians from Protestant churches, while as we know, Tolkien is a devout Catholic. C.S. Lews had Chronicles of Narnia which reminds me of TLOR whom he dedicated to his fave godchild. I wonder if CSL was refering to one of JRRT's kids.
