Books with author Kathryn Lindskoog

This was the very first celebration of the Chronicles of Narnia (begun in 1955, before the final volume was published), and is still the only one of its kind. Furthermore, it is the only book about himself and his writing that C. S. Lewis ever praised. The preface is by Walter Hooper. The introductory chapter is called Making Pictures. The three main chapters are Spoiled Goodness: Lewiss Concept of Nature, The Coming of the Lion: Lewiss Concept of God, and Possible Gods and Goddesses: Lewiss Concept of Man. The concluding chapter is called Weaving a Spell.Kathryn Lindskoog became a C. S. Lewis scholar in 1955 and has been publishing occasional books and articles about him ever since. In 1956 she won a scholarship to summer school at the University of London and asked Lewis if she could meet him. He invited her to have tea with him in the Royal Oxford Hotel, and she found him the friendliest, merriest person she had ever met. Seven of her nineteen books are about Lewiss life and works, and most of the others refer to him in one way or another. Lindskoog has given up college teaching and lecturing because of advanced multiple sclerosis. She lives in Orange, California, and still writes books and articles and publishes a quarterly newsletter called THE LEWIS LEGACY.

Unprovoked, random attacks have restarted in the southern reaches of the nation of Adalmar after years of relative calm. Violent, powerful, towering beasts and bat winged creatures taller than a man have crossed the Falcon’s Gap in small bands and attacked outlying farms and vulnerable, innocent travellers like Eirlys and her father. As Eirlys’ world is shattered, will the trio of elite wielders of elemental power who saved her life find a new path for her? Could a farmer’s daughter possibly possess what should be a hereditary gift? Many years have passed since the tragic drowning of Adalmar’s powerful and much loved young ruler Queen Analyse. Her cousin, King Marlin, has taken up the throne; he too is of the bloodline of the legendary Queen Callar. Her strength defended Adalmar in its greatest hour of need, but is it now time for her descendants to fulfil their destiny and protect the nation once again as the prophecy proclaims, “through the blood of Queen Callar will Adalmar stand true”?
