C. S. Lewis letters to children Book

I just love Lewis. If he writes it, I read it. These letters are especially chatty and full of life. In fact, being a somewhat over the top Lewis fan, I even cried when the letters were on my birthday, and as if I did not know the ending of the story I cried at the end too. There was something emotional about reading letters a person wrote not knowing their own expiration date. Maybe we are doing that very thing right now.

One of the most interesting aspects of the book is Lewis's letters to a young writer named Joan. He treats almost as an adult Inkling in his no-holds-barred reviews of her writing. I wonder what became of Joan. She didn't seem to give up after some very hard words from Lewis. They wrote back and forth over many years.

Where are you, Joan?
