Shadowlands: The True Story of C S Lewis and Joy Davidman

C S Lewis was on of this century's best-known authors. The Narnia Chronicles, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity are among his most loved works. Shadowlands tells the unique story of his tragic love. In Joy Davidman he truly found love and was drawn out of his shell. But only briefly, as she died months after they married. Brian Sibley skilfully looks at Lewis's childhood, his literary legacy and shows how, in the end, despite grief and painful doubts, Lewis's faith shone through. Shadowlands is also a BAFTA winning BBC film, a stage play by William Nicholson and a feature film directed by Richard Attenborough and starring Anthony Hopkins and Debra Winger. This new edition is fully expanded and updated.
