Description: In The Pilgrim's Regress (1933), Lewis's first prose work, he explains in allegory the elusive experience he calls Joy and its part in his conversation. The Problem of Pain (1940) is his first 'straight' work of Christian apologetics. In The Screwtape Letters (1942) an elderly devil writes advising a young devil, Wormwood, who is attempting to procure the soul of a young man.
The Great Divorce (1945) tells of an imaginary journey from Hell to the borders of Heaven.

Surprised by Joy (1955) tells the story of Lewis's boyhood, schooling and early manhood and how he passed 'from Atheism to Christianity.' Till We have Faces (1956) described by Lewis as the 'favourite of all my books' retells and interprets the story of Cupid and Psyche.
