Brenton D. G. Dickieson teaches in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Prince Edward Island and is a Lecturer and Preceptor in Signum University's MA program in Imaginative Literature. He explores the intersections of faith, fantasy, and fiction on his popular website, A Pilgrim in Narnia.

In this fine exposition of some of the deepest unifying themes in C. S. Lewis's endlessly compelling and diverse works, Dickieson takes us on a comprehensive tour of Lewis's own writing and of recent critical debate about his legacy, weaving together originality and scholarly authority with some poignant personal testimony. I can think of few other recent studies of Lewis that cover quite so much ground with such theological insight - and without defensiveness or selectivity.
