A Grief Observed is an exploration of C.S. Lewis’s thoughts and questions brought about by the grief at the passing of his wife. The book is written sporadically, suggesting short bursts of thought, in a stream of consciousness style of writing. Some trains of thought are constantly revisited while others seem to be more fleeting. The book was first published in 1961 under the pseudonym N.W. Clerk as Lewis wished to avoid identification as the author. The book is compiled from the four notebooks which Lewis used to vent and explore his grief. It helped inspire a 1985 television movie Shadowlands, as well as a 1993 film of the same name.

Mickey and Mark Moore are Ordinary Decent Criminals - hard men who live by their own code and leaders of a gang that has made millions at the point of a gun. But when Dan '-Spider' Shepherd is sent to infiltrate the tightly-knit team of bank robbers, he discovers that he has more in common with them then he first thought. And that perhaps being a career criminal isn't the worst thing in the world.
