C.S. Lewis is one of the most versatile figures in literary history. He dreamed of becoming a great poet; instead, he achieved fame as the writer of children's books, nonfiction, science fiction, and literary criticism. In this biography, A.N. Wilson explores the life and works of C.S. Lewis, from his early childhood, through years of fighting in World War I, his relationships, his books, and his friendships.

Lewis once wrote to his friend, Arthur Greeves: "though I have no personal experience of the thing they call love, I have what is better--the experience of Sappho, of Euripides, of Shakespeare, of Spenser, of Austen, of Bronte, of,--anyone else I have read."
