Influential Irish author and scholar (1898-1963), a former atheist who became an eloquent convert to Christianity, best known for his works on Christian theology and his much-beloved, seven-book juvenile fantasy series The Chronicles of Narnia. ALS, one page, 5.25 x 7, March 2, 1959. Handwritten letter from Magdalene College, Cambridge, in full: "I hope this letter will reach you, but I have found your signature very difficult to read and am not at all sure that my solution is the right one. I don't know the source of the quotation you sent me. Have you tried the two volumes of Poems? They are the part of his work that I know the least." Affixed inside the front cover of a first edition of Poems by C. S. Lewis, hardcover with dust jacket, published by Geoffrey Bles of London in 1964. Autographic condition: fine, with faint toning over most of the letter. Book condition: VG/G+, with an ink notation to the first free end page, and chipping and toning to the jacket. Accompanied by an authenticity analysis prepared by C. S. Lewis expert Charlie W. Starr.
