As the century ends, the life of one of the world’s best-loved writers, Clive Staples Lewis, fades into the same magical mythology he created in the Narnia Chronicles. This book is a welcome opportunity to hear personal recollections about this extraordinary writer. In C.S. Lewis: Memories and Reflections, John Lawlor recounts memories of studying under Lewis at Oxford and draws a fascinating comparison to Lewis’ friend and contemporary, J.R.R. Tolkien. Filled with personal correspondence and photos, this memoir is a rare glimpse into the real world of the creator of a luminous imaginary one.
