Harper SF, 1989. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. 12 mo., hardcover, fine in white boards in near fine beige dj. Clean and unmarked. 89 pp. 6th printing. a collection of C. S. Lewis's reflections on the experience of bereavement following the death of his wife, Joy Davidman, in 1960. The book was first published in 1961 under the pseudonym N.W. Clerk, as Lewis wished to avoid identification as the author. Though republished in 1963, after his death, under his own name, the text still refers to his wife as "H" (her first name, which she rarely used, was Helen). The film "Shadowlands" was based on this.
