Description: A compulsive writer from childhood, C. S. Lewis saw the world primarily through the medium of books. He read voraciously, and his own writing covers a broad range of genres. This timely study of C. S. Lewis -- published in the centenary year of Lewis's birth -- casts a unique light on this beloved figure by tracing his development as a reader and as a writer of books.

Lionel Adey shows how the two sides of Lewis's personality, for which Adey adopts the motifs of "the Dreamer" and "the Mentor, " are key to understanding Lewis's writing in its various modes. Adey begins by describing Lewis's early development and then devotes a chapter to each kind of writing he attempted: literary history, practical and theoretical criticism, novels for adults and for children, poetry, apologetics, essays and addresses, and letters. Throughout, Adey discusses, significant biographical events that came into play in each period of Lewis's life, such as the death of his mother when he was only nine years old. Adey concludes his study with an estimate of Lewis's achievement and enduring legacy as a writer.
