Tolkien and Lewis were good friends. Lewis also wrote a trilogy which reminded me of LOTR, not with elves and dwarfs, but with the clash of cultures. and overcoming evil. I liked his trilogy better, but it was not the easy read, the LOTR was. They are good books that let you know that evil will grow if you ignore it, but if you rise up against it, even the little man can persevere and conquer it.
Not Chronicles of Narnia! The trilogy consists of "Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength." Narnia was really a children's story.

You have that backwards. The Chronicles of Narnia was the easy read (Lewis). The Rings (Tolkien) was the hard one.
