With an engaging style, the author covers all of Lewis' life, from his early childhood, though his schooling, his growing fame as a Christian apologist and children's author, his relationship and marriage to Joy Gresham, her final illness and then his own.
Elaine Murray Stone, who met C.S. Lewis herself, provides welcome insight into this complicated and brilliant man. Her concise biography will appeal to young people as well as adults wanting a brief, easy-to-read portrait of this beloved author.
