What are some examples of books C.S. Lewis praised?

What are some examples of books that Christian apologists such as C.S. Lewis and Duncan Williams would have approved of? I know they critisized the protagonists of a lot of modernist fiction, so I need to know what they would have liked.

What are some examples of books C.S. Lewis praised?
Wow, that's a tall order! Lewis was lifelong and voracious reader.


Here are just a very few of his all time favorites.


1.Homer's Iliad


2.The author William Morris was one of Jack's life long favorites as was Matthew Arnold.


3.H.A. Grueber-Myths of the Norsemen


4.The Waverley Novels are a long series of books by Sir Walter Scott that Jack Lewis loved.


5.He loved the Bronte novels, Villette was his favorite.


6.He read the Jane Austen novels and the one titled Persuasion was his favorite


7.The poems and celtic plays of Y.B.Yeats.


8.Jack felt that no one should go through life without reading Malory's Mort d'Arthur.


Again this is just a small "inkling" (lol, pun intended) of the type of books Jack loved.


Hope it helps.
