Want to read a precious little book? It's called The Secret Country of C. S. Lewis by Anne Arnott, 1975. My mom loaned it to me and I read it in a day. It's a biography for young readers, beautifully written about a genius by a genius. It does such a wonderful job of distilling Lewis's life journey into the shining spiritual gem it became. She puts in the perfect quotes, stories, and references. I wanted to underline a lot. After reading only a few pages I knew I had to get my own copy. They have it used at Amazon.com for 1 cent plus shipping.
In this book you will watch "Jack" grow from a highly creative, sensitive, damaged little boy to "become a man with a mind like a sword that cut through all lies and sham, and showed up the blinding beauty of true goodness."
Like I said, precious.

It sounds great! I'll have to add it to my queue. Good to know I have a place I know I can find it. :)
