Over mijzelfClive Staples Lewis (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963), commonly referred to as C. S. Lewis and known to his friends and family as Jack, was an Irish-born British novelist, academic, medievalist, literary critic, essayist, lay theologian and Christian apologist. He is also known for his fiction, especially The Screwtape Letters, The Chronicles of Narnia and The Space Trilogy. (Wikipedia)

Over mijn boeken"It was a large room with three big windows, and it was lined from floor to ceiling with books; more books than Lucy had ever seen before, tiny little books, fat and dumpy books, and books bigger than any church Bible you have ever seen, all bound in leather and smelling old and learned and magical."

- from "The Magician's Book", chapter ten of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, by C. S. Lewis

He self-identified as British, not Irish. See the current incarnation of his Wikipedia entry.

Hmm! Very interesting!

This is lovely! As I noted on the blog post about this library, it might be worth checking with Ms. Truty at the Wade Center about when that list was compiled. As it made its way to Wheaton, Lewis's orginal collection lost a few things along the way. As a former staffer, though, I can say with certainty that these books are now VERY secure - and anyone who is interested in C.S. Lewis should try to stop by sometime, it's an absolutely lovely little archive.

I don't know if you do "also on" things for legacy libraries, but you can learn more about the Wade Center on facebook in two places:

So are you a reincarnation or a ghost?

I noticed your comment about the Yale library. I've had really good luck with Oxford and seldom need to look further. It seems to like only two or three search terms -- I usually search author's last name, a word from the title, and the publish date. Unlike most other library searches, Oxford doesn't like commas as separators, just blanks.
