During his youth, the boy who would become C. S. Lewis formed his most basic impressions and tastes regarding music, art, literature, religion, sports, friendship, imagination, education, war, and more. The issues young "Jack" Lewis wrestled with drove him toward the foundation on which his life would be built. His childhood interests, influences, longings, struggles, and even failures prepared him to engage his gifts as a writer, teacher, and friend.

Lewis expert Harry Lee Poe unfolds young Jack's key relationships, hobbies, spiritual conflicts, decisions, desires, and dreams. Along the way, Poe points out where these themes reappear in Lewis's later works—bringing to life the importance of his conversion and his surprising discovery of joy.

The first chapter of two is rather slow going. But after that the story of Jack Lewis’s formation really gets going and starts to become more of a quest. What’s great about this work is how much attention Jack’s father Albert is given. His father always came off as somewhat of an antagonist in other works. This does everyone due justice. Well done!! Can’t wait for the next installment.
