Contained within this vast body of correspondence is wisdom and personal insight as powerful as anything else he ever wrote or had published.

Jack’s famous letters, published in their entirety in a collection consisting of three impressive volumes, reveal much about his private life, reflections, friendships and feelings, as well as all of Lewis’s interests: theology, literature, poetry, fantasy, and unknown details about his world-famous Narnia stories and other books. Amongst Jack’s correspondents were J.R.R. Tolkien, Dorothy L. Sayers, Owen Barfield, Arthur C. Clarke, Sheldon Vanauken and Dom Bede Griffiths.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) is one of the greatest writers of the 20th century and his works of children's fiction, fantasy and popular theology are enduringly appealing. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. Interest in his life increased with the biographical film 'Shadowlands' and the publication of his vast body of personal letters, although his most distinguished accomplishments remain his books and his Narnia stories, now being turned into films by Walt Disney and Walden Media.
