About the book
"Born in Belfast in 1898 and sent to England for a public school education with his elder brother, Warren, C.S. Lewis exhibited a genius for imagination and perception from his earliest years. Later, his Chronicles of Narnia became children's classics and he was deluged with correspondence from his young readers." "During his lifetime C.S. Lewis suggested to his friend, Roger Lancelyn Green, that he would undertake his biography one day. After Lewis's death in 1963 Lancelyn Green and Walter Hooper, Lewis's personal secretary during the last months of his life, were approached by several of Lewis's friends who encouraged them to write his story. Lewis's brother Warren contributed a great deal to the research, and the authors had at their disposal a vast collection of letters and diaries and the unique recollections of many surviving family members and friends."--Jacket.
