🏡 A BOY WHO INVENTED HIS OWN WORLD
Clive Staples Lewis grew up in Belfast, surrounded by books and fascinated by imaginary worlds. As a child, he and his older brother Warren created Boxen, a fictional land populated by talking animals with their own adventures and politics.
🎓 A LIFE DEVOTED TO BOOKS
After serving in World War I and being wounded in France, Lewis completed his studies at Oxford University. He became an English literature tutor at Oxford in 1925 and later a professor of medieval and Renaissance literature at Cambridge.
🖋️ TWO GREAT FANTASY WRITERS
Lewis developed a close friendship with J. R. R. Tolkien, the author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Both belonged to the Inklings, an Oxford literary circle whose members shared stories, discussed ideas, and encouraged one another’s writing.
🦁 THROUGH THE WARDROBE TO NARNIA
Lewis introduced readers to the magical land of Narnia in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950). Six more books followed, bringing to life the unforgettable lion Aslan and a world filled with talking animals, adventure, and courage.
📖 A WRITER OF MANY WORLDS
Lewis also wrote The Screwtape Letters, a satirical novel presented as advice from an experienced demon to his apprentice. His influential book Mere Christianity grew from radio talks delivered during World War II, introducing his religious ideas to a wide audience.
🌟 STORIES THAT CROSS GENERATIONS
Lewis’s books have reached millions of readers and inspired films, stage productions, and countless discussions about imagination and morality. His final Narnia novel, The Last Battle, received the prestigious Carnegie Medal for children’s literature in 1956.
