Reviews for C. S. Lewis: A Biography: 'The more biography he writes, the better he gets - his life of C. S. Lewis is his best yet. It's a vivacious and compassionate book. Wilson's range of interests - religious, literary, human-gossipy and Oxfordian -- make him an ideal match for the subject.' Andrew Motion, Observer 'Passionate, perspicacious, funny and inevitably partisan.' Selina Hastings, Telegraph 'Wilson's biography is admirable, probably the best imaginable ! Mr Wilson is a brilliant biographer.' Anthony Burgess, Independent 'It seems fitting that A. N. Wilson should now have written the definitive biography of Lewis, and it is a superb job.' John Bayley, Guardian
