Writers and Poets

C. S. Lewis was a British author, literary scholar and Anglican lay theologian. He held academic positions in English literature at both Magdalen College, Oxford (1925–1954), and Magdalene College, Cambridge (1954–1963). He 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. Although he was acknowledged in university circles as a brilliant lecturer and tutor, his wider fame rested on his three dozen or so books. He wrote science-fiction and children's stories as well as works on literature and religion. Upon his passing, in paperback editions alone, about one million copies of his books had been sold.

Fun Fact

C. S. Lewis and author J.R.R. Tolkien were best of friends and it would not be unusual to see the men sharing a pint in a local Oxford pub.
