From the Publisher

The Muse of C.S. Lewis & The Woman Behind Narnia

After reading several works of C.S. Lewis, Joy Davidman was so moved that she wrote him in England. The two were long-distance pen pals for three years before they met in person. Joy eventually moved to England and they married in 1957.

C.S. Lewis called Joy his “whole world (stars, water, air, and field, and forest. as they were reflected in a single mind).”

Joy influenced some of Lewis’ most significant works. He was so enraptured with her that her death nearly destroyed him and his faith.
