Beebe discovers unpublished C.S. Lewis manuscript : University News Service : Texas State University: "What if two of the most famous and widely read 20th Century authors who have each individually sold millions of copies of their books had written a book together?



C. S. Lewis, author of the Narnia Chronicles and Screwtape Letters, and J. R. R. Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, had planned in the 1940s to write a book together about Language. According to a letter written by Tolkien in 1944 to his son Christopher, the collaborative book was to be called Language and Human Nature. A news release from their publisher announced that the book was scheduled for publication in 1950. It was, however, never published. Scholars have thought, until now, that it was never started."
