As I walked away from New Buildings, I found the man that Lewis
had called "Tollers" sitting on one of the stone steps in front of
the arcade.
"How did you get on?" he asked.
"I think rather well. I think he will be a most interesting
tutor to have."
"Interesting? Yes, he's certainly that," said the man, who I
later learned was J. R. R. Tolkien. "You'll never get to the bottom
of him."
Over the next twenty-nine years, author George Sayer's first
impression about C. S. Lewis proved true. He was interesting; but
he was more than just that. He was a devout Christian, gifted
literary scholar, best-selling author, and brilliant apologist.
Sayer draws from a variety of sources, including his close
friendship with Lewis and the million-word diary of Lewis's
brother, to paint a portrait of the man whose friends knew him as
Jack.
Offering glimpses into Lewis's extraordinary relationships and
experiences, Jack details the great scholar's life at the Kilns;
days at Magdalen College; meetings with the Inklings; marriage to
Joy Davidman Gresham; and the creative process that produced such
world-famous works as the classic Chronicles of Narnia, Mere
Christianity, and The Screwtape Letters.
This book is an intimate account of the man who helped-and
through his works, continues to help-generations hear and
understand the heart of Christianity.
