The alternate title, Reflections on Education with Special Reference to the Teaching of English in the Upper Forms of Schools, is less adequate to describe the book than its cryptic principle title. But education is the starting point. Lewis cites a particular English text book whose authors attempt to teach the subject without teaching values along the way. From this springboard, Lewis addresses the hidden values of these "educators," the real damage done to students when these lesser values are taught, and the nature of man.
Though a mere three chapters, this book is highly rated; ranked 7th by the National Review Magazine on its list of the 100 best non-fiction books of the 20th century. The Intercollegiate Studies Institute ranked it 2nd in its list of the 50 best non-fiction books of the 20th century.

C.S. Lewis was a professor of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Oxford and Cambridge universities who wrote more than thirty books in his lifetime. Those titles include Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Problem of Pain, and The Chronicles of Narnia.
Lewis died in 1963 at 5:30 p.m. one week before his 65th birthday on Friday, November 22, the same day on which President Kennedy was assassinated and Aldous Huxley died.
