Letters to an American Woman - CS Lewis; Paperback book (Hodder 1971)

Letters to an American Woman - C. S. Lewis Editor Clyde S. Kilby Paperback bookHodder and Stoughton 1971 (Copyright 1967)On October 26, 1950, C. S. Lewis wrote the first of more than a hundred letters he would send to a woman he had never met, but with whom he was to maintain a correspondence for the rest of his life.Ranging broadly in subject matter, the letters discuss topics as profound as the love of God and as frivolous as preferences in cats.  Lewis himself clearly had no idea that these letters would ever see publication, but they reveal facets of his character little known even to devoted readers of his fantasy and scholarly writings - a man patiently offering encouragement and guidance to another Christian through the day-to-day joys and sorrows of ordinary life.Letters to an American Lady stands as a fascinating and moving testimony to the remarkable humanity and even more remarkable Christianity of C. S. Lewis, and is richly deserving of the position it now takes among the balance of his Christian writings.Condition:The book is in very good condition for its age.  The cover has slight edge and corner wear especially to the spine, a couple of slightly creased / bent corners, small creases especially around the edges, a couple of small marks / spots and slight age browning especially around the edges.  Inside, the book has ‘25p’ written in pencil on the first page, a couple of slightly creased / bent corners, a couple of surface marks, slight creasing and slight age browning especially around the edges.  The pages appear to be in reasonably tight, clean condition.
