Personally, I love audio books. If you do too, then you actually only need two Audible credits to purchase a huge number of Lewis’ works…
C.S. Lewis Essential Audio Library
Your first credit should be spent on the C.S. Lewis Essential Audio Library:
This collection includes nine of Lewis’ major works:
- Mere Christianity
- The Screwtape Letters
- The Great Divorce
- Miracles
- The Problem of Pain
- A Grief Observed
- The Abolition of Man
- The Weight of Glory
- George MacDonald
C. S. Lewis Essay Collection and Other Short Pieces
Your second Audible credit should be spent on the C. S. Lewis Essay Collection and Other Short Pieces:
This purchase contains a whopping thirty-nine hours of audio! It primarily contains essays which Lewis wrote, some letters and a few short stories. The only slight downside is that each work isn’t divide into a separate chapter, which can make navigating the collection by timestamp a little unwieldy.

Thank you! Not just almost, but thou persuadest me to become an Audible subscriber again. They are doing a special right now which gives you 1 credit and $20 in cash credit (plus only $5.95 for the first 3 months) — I was able to get both of these selections today when I renewed.
