The Kindle version of Lewis's George MacDonald: An Anthology is currently on sale for $1.99. Now's your chance to be introduced to the man who had so much influence on Lewis, Tolkien, and many others who are more well-known than he is.

The dinner party idea is an interesting question, but like similar ideas, I find it hard to answer. My first reaction was no, because he left so many books to learn from instead. But then I remembered how much I would like his commentary on life in England and America today, now that the dangerous trends he observed three-quarters of a century ago have blossomed and borne bitter fruit.

But if I really could have anyone at all at my dinner party, it would naturally be Jesus. However, the meal would probably have to be take-out pizza, because I would want to be Mary, not Martha. On the other hand, the wine would be fantastic! But with such a Guest, the question of inviting just two other people becomes worse than winning a billion-dollar lottery and choosing which two friends to share it with. Florida isn't replete with hillsides....

Thank you! MacDonald is new to me and it's fun to learn the nearly-greats who influenced the greats. Interesting how "The Lion etc." was the springboard to a lifetime of learning for you; this explains why Audubon wants to get kids in the woods and Gettysburg wants to get kids onto the battlefield. So, now--you get to throw a dinner party for any three people, living or dead. Is Lewis one of the invitees? :)
