Lancelyn Green retold Greek, Norse and other myths whereas Tolkien and Poul Anderson independently adapted Norse mythology as modern fiction.
Lewis wrote The Problem Of Pain, Christian apologetics, whereas Anderson wrote "The Problem of Pain," hard sf. Lewis' fiction assumes Christian theology. Christianity is true in some of Anderson's fantasies and is the belief of some of the characters in his hard sf.

Kaor, Paul!
Dang! All fans of Tolkien and Lewis should know about that informal literary club called the Inklings. And I've even read the fantasies of Charles Williams, another Inkling. But somehow Lancelyn Green's name never stuck with me.
Ad astra! Sean
