A.N. Wilson, A.N. Wilson. CS. Lewis: Brilliant. Gregarious. Loyal friend. One of the most learned· scholars of his generation. Renowned Christian apologist. Author of a children’s series   that has sold millions upon millions of copies. C.S. Lewis was all of these things, and, as revealed in this splendid biography by A.N. Wilson, a mystery to those who thought they knew  him best. His books explore, in a variety of ways, the problems of religious belief and moral life in the modern world. For his millions of readers, Lewis is not only a storyteller of  enduring power  and enchantment, but a wise friend and an inspiring guide. In this carefully documented and brilliantly executed portrait, Wilson is able to show us how the wisdom Lewis shared with his readers was wrested from difficult and often dramatic experience. Wilson writes movingly of the major spiritual turning points in Lewis’s life, and of the crucial friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien, which was the wellspring both of the Narnia stories and Tolkien’s own masterwork, The Lord of the Rings.
