{"product_id":"narrative-poems-71854","title":"Narrative Poems","description":"C.S. Lewis enjoyed both stories and poetry. His narrative poems combine his gift in story-telling with his skills as a poet. The four pieces in this book are the only narrative poems by Lewis known to be in existence. The poems are full of Lewis's romantic imagination; they display his love and knowlege of classic mythology and his own mastery of the English language. \\* Dymer (1926) \\* Launcelot (?early 1930s) \\* The Nameless Isle (1930) \\* The Queen of Drum (1938) 'Dymer' was begun by Lewis as a story in prose and the original idea had 'come to him' at the age of 17. It tells the story of a man who begets a monster. The monster kills his father and becomes a god. 'Launcelot' is based on the legend of King Arthur and the Holy Grail and 'The Nameless Isle' is the story of a shipwrecked mariner and his adventures on a magic island. 'The Queen of Drum' tells of an old pompous king and his young queen who eventually has to choose between heaven, hell and fairyland.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51560826634527,"sku":"9780006278375","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780006278375_835969.jpg?v=1769123066","url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/narrative-poems-71854","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
