The Mythmakers: The Remarkable Fellowship of C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien by John Hendrix

emotional informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

I’m more familiar with C.S. Lewis than Tolkien but I never realized that the two of them were friends until I saw this book. I was immediately intrigued. 
 
The graphic novel is a dual biography of the lives of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Though it doesn't delve too deeply into the details of their lives, it's a good overview. However, the main focus is their friendship/colleagueship. 
 
I enjoyed the narration style of the book (being told to the reader by a lion and a wizard) and felt like I learned a lot. Reading this made me want to try reading The Lord of the Rings series. 
 
Thanks to ABRAMS Kids|Fanfare and NetGalley for allowing me to read a free digital ARC of the book!
