**SPOILER ALERT** Because we are finally covering a short story by C. S. Lewis, we recommend to listen to this 11-minute short story first, becuase it has a twist ending we will spoil in the epiosde: Find it on YouTube here: "The Man Born Blind"

Lewis wrote two slightly different versions of this story, one goes by the title "Light" and the other "The Man Born Blind", but they are very similar and only have small changes to them. Dr. Charlie W. Starr, our guest in the episode, studied Lewis' handwriting to determine when Lewis wrote each version of the story. In this episode, Charlie recaps the story itself, tells us about his journey of working on the manuscript, and explains how the story could be an analogy of sorts to make his point against Owen Barfield in their "Great War".
