Reviews
"Provides profound insight into the brilliant mind and prolific writings of C. S. Lewis. . . . provides the reader with new understanding and a strong motivation to read or reread this always fascinating Oxford Don." -Armand Nicholi, Jr., author, The Question of God: C. S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud Debate God, Love, Sex, and the Meaning of Life, ""If it were possible to reconstruct a man's life day-by-day, from the cradle to the grave, then a new and compelling portrait must emerge. Certainly, that is what Colin Duriez has done: shedding new light, opening new perspectives and bringing fresh insight to the life of a man who has deeply enriched, and continues to enrich, the lives of others." --Brian Sibley, from the foreword, "Offers an in-depth look at Lewis's everyday life from his formative years to his final ones. The book retraces the major milestones in Lewis's journey, but reveals as well the books he was reading and writing, the people he was meeting, what he thought of them and they of him." David C. Downing, author, Into the Wardrobe and The Most Reluctant Convert, "If it were possible to reconstruct a man's life day-by-day, from the cradle to the grave, then a new and compelling portrait must emerge.

Synopsis
This biography reconstructs Lewis' professional and daily life. More than 100 sidebars offer little-known trivia tidbits on the more personal side, and cover such topics as the contents of his home library, 10 things he believed about cats, his favorite beers and pubs, and the women and friends in his life., C. S. Lewis (1898-1963) is known around the world for his beloved and classic series, The Chronicles of Narnia, which includes The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. One of the great writers and thinkers of modern times, Lewis created an impressive array of popular novels and academic studies. He was an eminent Oxford-based scholar and a close friend of J. R. R. Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings. A biography like no other, The C. S. Lewis Chronicles takes a refreshingly different and highly illuminating approach to the life and times, thought and work of this extraordinary man. Both greatly accessible and authoritative, it reconstructs Lewis's life story in minute chronological detail-day by day, month by month, year by year, from the cradle to the grave-and is full of utterly entertaining and little-known Lewis and Narnia facts, miscellany and trivia. Book jacket., A refreshingly unique look at this extraordinary man, this biography chronologically reconstructs both Lewis's professional and daily lives in astonishing detail, from his childhood in Northern Ireland and his participation in World War I to friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien at Oxford and his professorship at Cambridge. More than 100 sidebars offer little-known trivia tidbits on the more personal side of Lewis, and cover such topics as the contents of his home library, 10 things he believed about cats, his favorite beers and pubs, and the women and friends in his life. On the professional side, working titles of his books, lectures he gave at Oxford and Cambridge, and his ideas on atheism and idealism are discussed. Essential information on his most popular work, "The Chronicles of Narnia, is also addressed, including the meaning of names, the hierarchy, and the kings, queens, animals, and battles in Narnia.
