A letter from Lewis

The previously unpublished note from C. S. Lewis

Sorting through the dusty boxes of old book stock in our Bible College library we came across a real gem.

Tatty and heavily inscribed, with the spine sadly coming adrift, was a first-edition copy of Broadcast Talks by C. S. Lewis. Published in 1942 it is essentially a transcript of a series of BBC radio addresses delivered by Lewis during the war.

Hidden letter

However, what makes the book a gem is a letter tucked into the front of the book, signed by Lewis. It was typed by his brother Warnie in 1946 and sent along with the book as a gift to a friend in London.
