    CS Lewis (1898 – 1963), known to his friends as Jack, is best known as the author of The Chronicles of Narnia, but he is also noted for his other works of fiction, such as The Screwtape Letters and The Space Trilogy, and for his non-fiction Christian apologetics, including Mere Christianity, Miracles, and The Problem of Pain.

    Lewis was a close friend of JRR Tolkien, author of The Lord of the Rings. Both men served on the English faculty at Oxford University. Lewis fell away from his faith during adolescence but was converted at the age of 32, owing to the influence of Tolkien and other friends, and he became an “ordinary layman of the Church of England”. Lewis’s faith profoundly affected his work, and his wartime radio broadcasts brought him wide acclaim.
