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.
