Summary: I could not put this book down
Review: I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone as the author has meticulously researched the life and works of Lewis. I was encaptured into the atmosphere from the very first page. CS Lewis was known to me as the author of 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' but after reading this book I feel the need to read further works by Lewis. 'The Shiver of Wonder' is so delicately interwoven into each page and the book shines with the author's love for his subject and his deeper love for the Saviour of mankind today. Read this book and you will feel 'The Shiver of Wonder' and not want the story to end.

If you have not read any of Lewis's books you will want to after reading this and if like me you have read his children's books you will definitely want to read his other books.

I feel D. Bingham has reached a wider audience with his accurate depiction of Lewis's real life. I so enjoyed his love of nature and the encounters with many other authors we all know today. The book is deeply moving and will leave the reader with a deeper understanding of the reasons behind Lewis's writings. I feel privileged to give this book 5 very well deserved stars and just want to share the joy with others no matter where you read this book.

I live in Northern Ireland so many of the places 'live' to me. By reading the book you will also enjoy all the 'little' snatches of life in Belfast as this is where CS Lewis was born.

I look forward to reading more CS Lewis books but will also look forward to more by D.Bingham who has a wonderful gift of writing.
