Somewhat Interesting...
First of all, I did expect this to contain material by Lewis that was incomplete, yet even knowing that didn't remove the disappointment I felt when the stories just stopped. I can appreciate the notes, background info and the look into the author while young, but I was left with an unexpected incompleteness. Lewis fans who want to get a taste of some projects that never hit the big time should enjoy this, but be prepared for abrupt story endings with no explanations and no attempt to examine the endings. Hope this helps. Later.

For the Lewis fan
I recently finished listening to Short Stories written by C. S. Lewis, edited by Lesley Walmsley and narrated by Ralph Cosham.
This is an eclectic collection of short stories by Lewis. Some are historical fiction while others are science fiction and they cover everything in between. Some, sadly, are incomplete.
The reading of this includes commentary by the editor on when each of these was written, if they are reflected in Lewis' more popular works, and insights into Lewis' thought process. The editor implies he knew Lewis personally, thus he is able to offer intimate details on the thought process of his friend.
The narrator, Ralph Cosham, is a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand he is fairly good at evoking emotion and drawing the listener in. On the other hand he sounds like a soft spoken grandfather who is actively trying to put you to bed for the night. I think he has the makings of a great narrator if he could only add a little pizzazz to his words.
Conclusion: This series of short stories, while covering a host of subjects, is primarily aimed at fans of Lewis' work. I would suggest this to any C. S. Lewis fan.

Hidden Gems of C.S. Lewis
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this book to a friend because it is C.S. Lewis. The stories are great even if not as developed and finished as some of his more popular works. They give a person greater insight into the workings of a truly masterful story teller's mind.
What other book might you compare Short Stories to and why?
I would compare these short stories to books like "the great divorce." Or perhaps to the posthumously published Tolkien short stories that are not always finished, but open up a new world for you to play with.
Which scene was your favorite?
I loved "the Dark Tower." But I had to laugh and replay the part where C.S. Lewis comes up with an acronym spelling "What Ho" for the name of a woman's group intent on sending ugly prostitutes to scientists in space.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did listen to this book all in one sitting. It wasn't very long, and it was a nice way to relax while I carved on a Sunday afternoon.

Can you come up with the ending
I used my imagination. Something books don’t do. How does it end? Enjoyed it very much.

C.S. Lewis is a master of story telling
You do have to give this your un-divided attention, but if you do, it is really good!

Tantalizing and frustrating!
When I get to Heaven, the first thing I’ll do is march right up to C. S. Lewis’ door and demand the rest of HIS The Dark Tower.

Not like other CS Lewis writings
It was dry and wasn’t sure if it was Lewis writing it at times. Yep.

it's...
an acquired taste. keep in mind none of these stories have endings. they were all scavenged from his works posthumously. The narrator is fantastic his voice and acting brings to life something that was... incomplete at best. I think truly this is for die hard CS Lewis fans more than it is for anyone looking for a collection of short stories to pass the time.
