The Mythmakers: The Remarkable Fellowship of C.SJohn Hendrix, illustrated by John HendrixThe Mythmakers uses graphic-novel storytelling to trace C.S. Lewis’s and J.R.R. Tolkien’s early lives, then the friendship they developed at Oxford after World War I. Anthropomorphic guides named Mr. Lion and Mr. Wizard introduce mythology before the book turns to the authors’ childhoods and young adulthoods. Their common interest in myth connects them, while their religious positions differ: Tolkien is Catholic, and Lewis is an atheist after the war. Their ongoing conversations ultimately return Lewis to Christianity.The ArtsOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
