Description
Adventures in another world and stories of mystery – these fascinated young Clive Staples Lewis. Although he was just a young boy he would sit for hours writing stories where animals came to life and lived and spoke like people. He struggled through school but grew up to be the famous author C S Lewis – although he always preferred to be called Jack.
The reasons for his change of name and the ideas behind his stories are there to discover in this biography of one of the best-loved of modern authors.
Lewis’ best-known children’s books are the Chronicles of Narnia. If you have enjoyed them then you’ll be fascinated at how they came to be written, each chapter was read and commented on by J R R Tolkein, just as each chapter of The Lord of the Rings was read to Lewis before publication.
