It's a bunch of excerpts from his writings. Nothing really wrong with it, but I think most of us would rather encourage someone to read the books rather than a few paragraphs here and there. If you go to , you can read a sample page of the book in English.
Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.

I've got the books and T.B.O.H. The latter is great when you just have a minute to spare but would rather not read the newspaper.

The Business of Heaven is also included in the single volume collection The Beloved Works of C. S. Lewis, along with Surprised by Joy, Reflections on the Psalms, and The Four Loves. Now I'm reading the entire volume (rereading the other works) and the topical arrangement for each day of the year looks very practical. The hardcover book containing all four works is published by Family Christian Press and is available at their bookstores. (I purchased mine for under $15-- it wasn't very expensive.) It is of course in English, coming from an American publisher.

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best -- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.
