Screwtape Proposes a Toast (And Other Pieces, 131073)

The only official sequel, penned by Lewis himself, to the ever-popular ?Screwtape Letters? ? published alongside other short essays.

One of the most popular books ever to come from the pen of C.S. Lewis was written in the name of Screwtape, a senior devil, experienced in the art of luring his ?patients? on earth to their own damnation in service of ?our father below? ? and training others to do the same.

Screwtape?s correspondence with his nephew, an apprentice devil, came into Lewis?s hands, he said, by a route he would not disclose, and many a reader has finished the collection longing for more of the insights they gained from its wisdom.

Much to Lewis?s resistance, this after-dinner speech, given by Screwtape to a graduating class of demons at a college in hell, came to light a few years after the publication of the original letters. Now 75 years later, the speech is reproduced in full once more, along with a short collection of Lewis?s other lesser-known, but perennial works.

Many people will have forgotten about the only official ?sequel? that exists to Screwtape; the 75th anniversary of Screwtape?s publication is the perfect opportunity to bring this back.
