On Stories
by C. S. Lewis
C. S. Lewis is known for his fiction, especially the science fiction and fantasy stories he pioneered in the age of realistic fiction. He teaches his theories and philosophy on fiction throughout nine articles, including this One on History. In addition to discussing his own fiction, Lewis reviewed and criticized the work of many of his famous peers, including George Orwell, Charles Williams, Ryder Haggard, and his good friend J.R.R. Tolkien takes a broad look at what fiction means and how to create it from one of the masters of his time.
