Numerous biographies have been written about this great poet, theologian, literary critic and historian, imaginative novelist, and writer of children's stories. We have read several, including A.N. Wilson's recently-published volume, and found Sayer's to be the best.
Sayer helps us see clearly Lewis's early years. And, while hinting at the flashes of childhood brilliance and eccentricity that would later become Lewis's hallmarks, he sheds new light on Lewis's academic career; discusses his transforming Christian experience and objectively assesses the role of religion in his life; deals frankly with his controversial relationship with Mrs. Moore; and provides a revealing passionate account of his marriage to Joy Davidman. Unabridged. Read by Frederick Davidson. 10 cassettes.
