Who is C.S. Lewis?

C. S. Lewis was born Clive Staples Lewis on November 29, 1898, in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In September 1917 he enlisted in the British army and became an officer in the 3rd Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry. By his 19th birthday, he was on the front lines of active combat in France. In 1918, Lewis was wounded in the Battle of Arras but returned to duty after recovering and remained in the army until his discharge. Lewis returned to his studies in 1919 at Oxford. The Chronicles of Narnia is a series of seven fantasy novels for children that is by far the most popular of his works. The books have a Christian allegorical theme and describe the adventures of a group of children who visit a magical land called Narnia. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, which was the first published and the most popular book of the series, has been adapted for both stage and screen. The Chronicles of Narnia borrow from Greek and Roman mythology, and traditional English and Irish fairy tales. Lewis reportedly based his depiction of Narnia in the novels on the geography and scenery of the Mourne Mountains in County Down, Northern Ireland.
