C.S. Lewis's "Till We Have Faces"
It's nice to see you've now got Reason and Imagination in C.S. Lewis: A Study of Till We Have Faces in pre-pub, but could we please also have the book that this is a study of? Kind of hard to get much out of a study of an original work without the original itself to read side-by-side. Thanks!
And this is one of Lewis's most fascinating but least known books. It's a retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche through the eyes of Psyche’s sister, Orual.

Yeah. I was surprised it wasn't in the first bundle.

Rosie,
Do we have a master list anywhere of outstanding CS Lewis resources? Something like:
- Till We Have Faces
- Surprised by Joy
- Letters to Malcolm
- The Four Loves
- Reflections on the Psalms
- Chronicles of Narnia
- Essays/Shorter Pieces (is there a comprehensive series of these out there in print?)
- Diaries
- Literary Criticism
What are we still missing?
Edit: Apologies, I just noticed you gave a list on a much earlier post.
Rosie Perera said:I posted my complete list of what I see missing that I'd like to have eventually over on another thread. I'll replicate it here. I have all of these in print. So it would be nice to be able to access them digitally in Logos.
- The Chronicles of Narnia
- Letters to Malcolm: Chiefly on Prayer
- Reflections on the Psalms
- The Four Loves
- Till We Have Faces
- Surprised by Joy
- A Preface to Paradise Lost
- Letters to Children (though they are all no doubt included in the three volumes of all his letters, it's nice having the ones to children selected out into a separate volume)
- The Dark Tower and Other Stories
- Poems
- Narrative Poems
- Boxen (childhood chronicles written by him with his brother Warren H. Lewis)
And more collections of his essays (though there is no doubt some overlap among all of these and the ones they already have):

Two more that I missed:
EDIT: So now I think that combining my earlier list with these two and the ones you listed that I'd missed under your categories of Essays/Shorter Pieces, Diaries, and Literary Criticism, we've got pretty much everything that I know of.

is this in the prepub hopeful list?

The C.S. Lewis collection, asking $400, shouldn't be missing any of his works, but it looks like it is.
