SURPRISED BY JOY: THE SHAPE OF MY EARLY LIFE

by C.S. Lewis

Published by Geoffrey Bles Ltd.. 1st. 1955

Good condition. Lewis recounts and remembers his early years with a measure of amusement sometimes mixed with pain. However, while he does describe his life, the principal theme of the book is Joy as he defined it for his own purpose. Lewis ultimately discovers the true nature and purpose of Joy and its place in his own life. Grey cloth boards, title to spine. 224 pages.

Boards a little grubby and scuffed. Title to spine has completely faded, no longer readable. Spine has a slight lean. Text block browned. Inscription in ink to front endpaper and date in ink to rear endpaper. Some foxing throughout. A decent reading copy.
