As the centenary of the birth of C.S. Lewis approaches and the number of his surviving friends necessarily dwindles, a uniquely personal book by one of these privileged few offers an intimate portrait of Lewis the tutor, scholar, and friend, along with new insights into his towering literary and scholarly achievement. From his rare vantage point as Lewiss student, friend, and professional colleague, Lawlor recalls Lewis in his habit as he lived. There is an unforgettable account of studying under Lewis and an enchanting depiction of undergraduate life at Oxford between the wars. To round out his picture, Lawlor draws on the recollections of other associated of Lewis, including a close comparison with J.R.R. Tolkien. These sketches are complemented by an exposition of Lewiss science fiction and the Chronicles of Narnia, There is also an assessment of Lewiss neglected notion of happiness, noting its links with nineteenthcentury English romanticism. After measuring Lewiss scholarly achievement, Lawlor concludes with his own understanding of this complex man, in whom maddening obstinacies and swordsharp disclaimers coexisted with an untroubled awareness of the highest order. The book is illustrated with previously unpublished personal correspondence, annotations from Lewiss personal library, and a hitherto unrecorded photograph of a young Lewis newly returned to Oxford from the First World War. Walter Hooper, Lewiss literary executor who has contributed the Foreword, calls Lawlors memoir a treasure...almost as good as another work from Lewiss pen.
