Slight bumping to corners and wear to edges. Edges of boards slightly soiled. Tight spine, hinges, and text block. Plain end papers.

Lewis’ dazzling allegory about heaven and hell, and the chasm fixed between them, is one of his most brilliantly imaginative tales, as he takes issue with the ideas in William Blake’s, “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.” In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon and embarks on an incredible voyage through Heaven and Hell. He meets a host of supernatural beings far removed from his expectations, from the disgruntled, ghostly inhabitants of Hell to the angels and souls who dwell on the plains of Heaven.
