Brothers and Friends: The Diaries of Major Warren Hamilton Lewis by Marjorie Lamp Mead, Clyde S. Kilby, W.H. Lewis

abject_reptile's review

5.0

It was more of an intimate portrait of Warren Lewis than it was of Jack since Warren was out of the closely guarded loop when it came to the precise nature of the Lewis household at The Kilns (as is the reader but we can surmise). His retirement turned out to be not all he had hoped for, at least for many years, which was a great injustice. I hope that, like Christopher Robin and Pooh, Warnie and Jack are together in the Enchanted Place.

Recommended for anyone who thinks of Warren Lewis as "Jack Lewis' alcoholic brother." Yes, he was that--but in these diaries, he comes across as a gentle, insightful man who did the best he could with the problems he had. In many ways, he seems more thoughtful than his brother, (and he, too, wrote many books!), and the picture of the times and the extended circle of intellects surrounding Jack and Warren is compelling.
