This is one of my favorite biographies written about one of my favorite authors. One of the most fascinating parts is how he came to write the Narnia series. He was very proud of his logical argument to defend the existence of God (i.e. that naturalism is self-defeating) but was shattered after he lost (or so he felt) a debate with Cambridge philosopher. After that, he stopped writing apologetics, giving up on logic as a way to lead people to God and turned instead to reaching the heart through story.
