C.S. Lewis, author of more than forty books and subject of many others, is acknowledged as one of the towering intellectual figures of this century -- yet the man himself remains somehow elusive, remote even to his admirers. Now, In C.S. Lewis at the Breakfast Table, James Como brings together the reminiscences and impressions of twenty-two people who knew Lewis personally -- as friend, colleague, teacher, employer. The result is the most intimate look yet at the complex man behind the glowing reviews and academic accolades. - Back cover.
