This is the first time that I write in this site.

I am a graduate student in Japan. :read:
I study Lewis and Celtic and Norse elements in TheChronicle of Narnia.
Now, I looking for some monograph, essay or article that refer to the relationship between Lewis and Celtic and Norse myth.
If you know any writing, please tell me the title, the source or author.
I am fortunate that I found this helpful site!

Hi Poliahu!

You might want to try Lewis's autobiographical "Suprised by Joy" - he talks quite a bit about his fascination with Norse mythology in his youth. A favourite book of his at the time was H.A. Guerber's "Myths of the Norsemen".

Good luck with your studies!
