Over the past half century, children have escaped into the world of delight and enchantment created by C.S Lewis in The Chronicles of Narnia. How did this middle-aged Irish bachelor turn to writing stories for children that would become among the most beloved and popular ever written? Alan Jacobs, author of a new biography of C.S. Lewis, joins Larry Mantle to talk about one of the most gifted and influential writers of his day. Jacobs' book is called The Narnian: The Life and Imagination of C.S. Lewis.
