The spirit of C.S. Lewis - Lesley Walmsley

A memorable gift book tracing the most important events and dates in C. S. Lewis's life and work.

The Spirit of C. S. Lewis commemorates the major events in the life of one of the greatest Christian writers of the twentieth century.

Tracing the key paths in his life through his letters, essays and books, it explores his relationship with Joy Gresham, his conversion from atheism to Christianity, major publishing events and his first encounter with the world of Narnia.

The book marks dates in his life, with readings arranged through the months of the year, which can be referred to again and again. It allows us to dip into different times of his life, almost as though he was talking to us about them himself.

C. S. Lewis writes about his conversion: "I gave in, and admitted that God was God. perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England." He is celebrated for his famous series of children's books, the Narnia Chronicles, as well as his literary criticism and science fiction.
