It was interesting, I suppose. It's kind of fun to see Lewis, who knew and loved so much of what some might call Literature with a Capital L defend what might be (and was, and is) disregarded as pulp by some.

I really do think Lewis would have liked Lucas's world-making, and I think there is some similarity in the manner, if not the matter, of Haggard's stories and Lucas's. If you can get a hold of the essay (I think it's in On Stories and Other Essays on Literature and I know it's in the Essay Collection and Other Short Pieces), it's interesting, even if you haven't read any Haggard (King Solomon's Mines, She, and some other adventure stories).

haha well, I was mostly thinking of the old Lucas. Extending the Haggard comparison, Lewis, in one of his letters to Arthur Greeves, wrote about Haggard's sequel to She that it wasn't anything so good as the first one and it consisted mostly of the same stuff in the first book put not as good. Maybe he'd say the same about the prequel trilogy? I certainly would.
