An Oxford student of C.S. Lewis's said he found his new tutor
interesting, and was told by J.R.R. Tolkien, 'Interesting? Yes,
he's certainly that. You'll never get to the bottom of him.' You
can learn a great deal about people by their friends and nowhere is
this more true than in the case of C.S. Lewis, the remarkable
academic, author, populariser of faith - and creator of Narnia. He
lost his mother early in life, and became estranged from his
father, much to his regret. Throughout his life, key relationships
mattered deeply to him, from his early days in the north of Ireland
and his schooldays in England, as still a teenager in the trenches
of World War One, and then later in Oxford. The friendships he
cultivated throughout his life proved to be vital, influencing his
thoughts, his beliefs and his writings. What did Arthur Greeves, a
life-long friend from his adolescence, bring to him? How did J.R.R.
Tolkien, and the other members of the now famous Inklings, shape
him? Why, in his early twenties, did he move in with a single
mother twice his age, Janie Moore, and live with her for so many
years until her death? And why did he choose to marry so late? What
of the relationship with his alcoholic and gifted brother, who
eventually joined his unusual household? In this sparkling new
biography, which draws on material not previously published, Colin
Duriez brings C.S. Lewis and his friendships to life.
