C. S. Lewis wrote a preface to St. Penelope's translation of St. Athanasius's work "On the Incarnation."  This became the short four and a half page essay we know today as "On the Reading of Old Books."  You can find the essay HERE  Our meeting will be a theme meeting on the essay.  A Kindle edition of Sr. Penelope's translation can be found at Amazon for $1.00 HERE
