Of the several bios of Lewis that I've read, this is my very favorite. For some inexplicable reason, I feel like reading it every fall.
Sayer was a student of Lewis's at Oxford, and the two became good friends until Lewis's death. Over the years, Lewis would periodically come stay with Sayer and his wife at Malvern so that the two men could take walking tours in the Malvern hills.
Sayer includes a lot of great anecdotes. One of my favorite aspects of the book is that Sayer records in detail the books that Lewis was reading over the course of his lifetime, and how those books affected him. I also enjoyed Sayer's recounting of Lewis's childhood and young adulthood.
Great book.
