A compact collection of more than one hundred short passages from C.S. Lewis on writing, reading and the writer's craft, gathered from his essays, letters and lectures. It is a reference-style book rather than a step-by-step guide: Lewis comments on style, clarity, honesty and the pleasure of words instead of offering exercises or formulas. It suits readers who already admire Lewis and want his thinking in one place, and writers who prefer principles to prescriptive how-to advice. Against craft manuals like Stephen King's On Writing, it is more aphoristic and less instructional, and its advice is dated in places.
