Lewis (Culture of the Land) unlimited An exploration of the Chronicles of Narnia and the Space Trilogy that enriches our understanding of how to care for our world 8221 (Alan Jacobs, author of Breaking Bread with the Dead). &nbsp In Narnia and the Fields of Arbol: The Environmental Vision of C. S. Lewis, authors Matthew Dickerson and David O 8217 Hara illuminate an important yet overlooked aspect of the author 8217 s visionary work. They go beyond traditional theological discussions of Lewis 8217 s writing to investigate themes of sustainability, stewardship of natural resources, and humanity 8217 s relationship to wilderness. The authors examine the environmental and ecological underpinnings of Lewis 8217 s work by exploring his best-known works of fantasy, including the seven books of the Chronicles of Narnia and the three novels collectively referred to as the Space Trilogy. Taken together, these works reveal Lewis 8217 s enduring environmental concerns, and Dickerson and O 8217 Hara offer a new understanding of his pioneering style of fiction. &nbsp Narnia and the Fields of Arbol, the first book-length work on the subject, finds the author 8217 s legacy to have as much in common with the agrarian environmentalism of Wendell Berry as it does with the fantasy of J. R. R. Tolkien. In an era of increasing concern about deforestation, climate change, and other environmental issues, Lewis 8217 s work remains as pertinent as ever. The widespread adaption of his work in film lends credence to the author 8217 s staying power as an influential voice in both fantastical fiction and environmental literature. With Narnia and the Fields of Arbol, Dickerson and O'Hara have written a timely work of scholarship that offers a fresh perspective on one of the most celebrated authors in literary history. &nbsp Both revelatory and a pleasure to read. 8221 8212 Robert Siegel, award-winning author of The Whalesong Trilogy<br>
