In 1950, C.S. Lewis began a correspondence with an American lady he would never meet. Thirteen years later, his life-and letters-came to an end. These letters reveal facets of Lewis’s character little known even to devoted readers of his fantasy and scholarly writings. Here is Lewis the man-generous, wise, compassionate, remarkably human. And, most significantly, here is Lewis the devoted Christian-patiently offering encouragement and guidance to another Christian through the day-to-day joys and sorrows of ordinary life.
