The mythmakers : the remarkable fellowship of C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien / John Hendrix.

Remarkable fellowship of C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien (portion title)
Hendrix, John, 1976- (author,, illustrator.).

Summary:

"The rich worlds of C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia and J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have enchanted readers both young and old for generations. But before they created these literary landmarks, Lewis and Tolkien were simply two friends who shared a love of stories. The Mythmakers chronicles their lives, from their horrific tour in the trenches of World War I, their first meeting at Oxford in 1929, and the literary discussions of the Inklings, to World War II, the publications of their works, and their legacies. Their personal stories are so intertwined that neither can be easily told without the other. Written and illustrated by John Hendrix, the New York times bestselling and award-winning creator of The Faithful Spy, The Mythmakers reveals how these remarkably creative minds influenced each other--their world-building philosophies, their ideas of mythology and faith, and their belief in the truth behind the human imagination. The Mythmakers is a masterful work capturing the extraordinary lives and literary contributions of Lewis and Tolkien, two of the most important and influential writers of the twentieth century."-- Dust jacket flap.
