JRR was so critical of LWW that Lewis almost didn't publish it. :( :( :(

As well as I know Tolkien, I know almost nothing of Lewis' process, or of the Inklings in general, beyond the fact that they existed and hung out.

I just started rereading VDT, and I think you can see a little bit of that even there, in the way Eustace is initially presented. Which, you know, it's a complicated question to ask, much less of the dead, but really, what would he have wanted to happen in the schools, I wonder.
