This is a highly readable and concise biography of C. S. Lewis.  However, as a biography, it is less about the history of Lewis' life and more about the history of this thinking.  It traces his changing theological understandings over time, starting as a boy and the death of his mother, and moving through to his acceptance of Christianity and the impact on his writings.  It is brief, so the look into the development of his thought spare and covers the larger points.  Overall the writing is well done and respectful of Lewis without being hagiography (the author notes Lewis' reactions to being overlooked for an academic position).  This can be read in an evening in one sitting if one chooses.  It is a good and solid introduction.
