C.S. Lewis: A Life (Uncorrected Proof)

Michael White.
Published by Carroll & Graf, 2004.

This uncorrected proof is in Near Fine condition. Tight binding, bright pages, no internal markings. The cover is clean and crisp, with only minimal edgewear. A rare pre-publication copy of a major biography.

Michael White offers a compelling look at the life and mind of C.S. Lewis — from his early years marked by grief and war, to his literary successes and spiritual transformation. This proof was produced in advance of the 2005 trade edition release to generate early publicity.

Biographical works on Lewis, particularly pre-release proofs, remain uncommon — this example includes full promotional material on the back cover, referencing Lewis’s friendships (notably with Tolkien), and the upcoming film adaptation of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

A fascinating collectible for any Lewis or Tolkien-related library.

Uncommon in this proof format — no other copies currently offered online.

A perfect item for collectors of literary biographies, proofs, or Inklings-related publications.

Digital photos available on request.
