DESCRIPTION

Synopsis from the book jacket: 

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Horse and His Boy and the other books in C.S Lewis' Narnia Chronicles are amongst the most beloved in children's literature.  

In a strong and moving narrative, Narnia's readers are introduced to "Plain Jack" Lewis and are able to explore his life as a scholar, his friendships with writers such as J.R.R Tolkien, the Christianity that underlies his writings, and the great love story of his final years. His own personal life is as fascinating as the very stories he with which he has delighted generations of readers.

Photographs of Lewis' world, from the grimy streets of Belfast and the horrors of trench warfare to the grandeur of Oxford and Cambridge, bring his story to vivid life and make this book as exciting to look at as it is informative to read.
