If you are a C.S. Lewis fan you must read this. When reading Lewis's fiction one will notice that he records his own life in the fiction he writes. If you read the Out Of The Silent Planet trilogy and especially Narnia as well as others his life really stands out on the pages. This will enhance the joy of reading his other books, especially his fiction, tremendously.
