About C.S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis was a British author, literary scholar, and Anglican lay theologian. He held posts in English literature at Magdalen College, Oxford, and later at Magdalene College, Cambridge. He is best known for The Chronicles of Narnia.

His writing ranges from imaginative fiction to religious argument, and much of it reflects his interest in Christian belief and moral questions.
