The Foreword for this book was written by Thomas Howard. Clyde Kilby wrote chapter one, "The Creative Logician Speaking" (which includes his personal memories of Lewis), Walter Hooper wrote "To the Martlets" (including some of his memories of Lewis and discussing a literary society to which Lewis belonged during his early years at Oxford), Stuart Barton Babbage writes of Lewis's wartime speeches in "To the Royal Air Force", George Bailey shares many Lewis recollections with his "In the University", long time friend Owen Barfield tells what Lewis was like "In Conversation", and Carolyn Keefe writes two chapters about Lewis's broadcasts, "On the Air" and "Notes on Lewis's Voice". This collection is enjoyable reading for Lewis enthusiasts.

Good reading for Lewis fans

The contributors to this book of essays - most of whom knew Lewis - have put together a nice volume of thoughtful comments about the man and his work. Good reading for Lewis fans.
