What are the characteristics of C.S. Lewis' work?

Answer 1

CS Lewis always had two important rules to follow that created his style:

• First, figure out exactly what he wanted to say in each individual sentence.
• Second, make sure he is saying exactly that.

Answer 2

This is hard to answer - do you mean his fiction works, his poems, his academic works, his no-fiction books? Lewis wrote some 67 books alone, plus letters and essays.

I'll give it a try, of course. Lewis' works are characterized by vivid images, concrete language, sound reasoning and a good dash of genial British humor.
