No other biography brings the reader closer to the real C S Lewis than George Sayer's warm and enlightening insider's view. Jack details the great scholar's life at the kilns; his career at Magdalen College; his relationship with Mrs Moore; meetings with the Inklings; marriage to Joy Davidman Gresham; and the creative process that produced such world famous works as the classic Chronicles of Narnia, Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters. Sayer shows us a Lewis who is a very human, sometimes faulty or mistaken, but somehow all the greater for those weaknesses.
"- Sayer has gone deeper into Lewis that nayone else has ever done or ever will do. - Sheldon Vanauken - This may well become the standard biography of C S Lewis - Christianity Today"
