“Jack was the finest man and best Christian I have ever known. I loved him and dearly cherish his memory.”
 |
Douglas Gresham, beloved stepson of C. S. Lewis and author of Jack’s Life, writes:
“There are several good biographies of C. S. Lewis, or ‘Jack’ as he preferred to be called…yet only two of them were written by people who actually knew him.
“What none of these books—the good, the bad, and the ugly—actually do is merely to tell the story of Jack’s life, and he led a pretty amazing one at that.
“I thought it was high time that somebody wrote the kind of biography of Jack that I would really like to read. Nobody did, so I did it myself. This book is my attempt to tell the story of his life, the way it was and the way it happened.”
Douglas Gresham was just a misplaced boy when his mom, Joy Davidman, moved with her sons from America to England where they befriended legendary author C. S. Lewis. In time, Davidman and Lewis married, and “Jack,” as the writer was known, helped to provide his new stepsons with fatherly care, love, and wisdom.
Indeed, Douglas Gresham is uniquely qualified to write the duly tender biography of Lewis that is Jack’s Life. Like the child that he was when they first met, Douglas recounts with wide eyes and open heart the man who endured his own childhood dramas. And on a personal level, Gresham illuminates the everyday charms of a literary icon who was far more than the genius behind The Chronicles of Narnia and Mere Christianity.
