This collection assembles nine essays that encapsulate C. S. Lewis’ ideas about fiction, including “On Stories,” “The Death of Words,” and “On Three Ways of Writing for Children,” as well as eleven pieces that were unpublished during his lifetime.
The theme of the collection is the excellence of the Story, especially the kind of story dear to Lewis: fantasy and science fiction, which he fostered in an age dominated by realistic fiction. On Stories is a companion volume to Lewis’s collected shorter fiction, The Dark Tower and Other Stories. The book is edited and with a Preface by Walter Hooper.
