The Narnian by Alan Jacobs
The Life and Imagination of C. S. Lewis
A lively, readable biography that traces C. S. Lewis’s life and intellectual formation and shows how his childhood, friendships (notably with Tolkien), academic career, wartime experiences, and conversion to Christianity combined with his love of myth to produce the Chronicles of Narnia; Jacobs balances literary analysis, archival detail and personal anecdote to argue that the Narnians are both imaginative play and expression of Lewis’s theological and moral concerns, explaining how a rigorous scholar became the creator of stories that captured the imaginations of generations.
