The Lewis Legacy-Issue 78, Autumn 1998 News and Views

The Lewis Legacy-Issue 78, Autumn 1998 The C.S. Lewis Foundation for Truth in Publishing

According to the 20 September Observer, “Lewis hits the stage in November with a Royal Shakespeare Company production at Stratford of a dramatisation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by poet Adrian Mitchell.” Also, “Lewis’s seven Chronicles of Narnia have sold more than 1 million copies in Britain since his death in 1963, and have been translated into 30 languages.”

Colin Hardie, who previewed Hooper’s typed Dark Tower manuscript in 1974, died on 17 October at age 92. He called himself “only a late and very marginal Inkling for the few years before he went to Cambridge.” His wife Christian felt The Dark Tower was from “the diabolic stratum of the subconscious.”

Joe Christopher lectures: “The Context for C. S. Lewis’s ‘Ministering Angels’,” South Central MLA, New Orleans, LA, 12-14 November, and “The Christian Poetry of C. S. Lewis,” Mary Hardin-Baylor Literary Festival, Belton, TX 7-9 January 1999.

“The Writer, the Boy and the Attic” is a delightful 5-page article in the November issue of In Britain, a handsome magazine for lovers of the British Isles.

In a personal letter to a professional journalist in 1998, Walter Hooper urged him not to waste any of his valuable time on Kathryn Lindskoog, a “strange woman” who is “obsessed” with him.
