C.S. Lewis was a writer, scholar and Christian apologist who wrote almost forty books, including Mere Christianity, Out of the Silent Planet, The Great Divorce, The Screwtape Letters, and his most famous, the classics in The Chronicles of Narnia. In this introductory biography, we will look at the early years of Lewis, from his childhood in Ireland to his membership of Oxford University’s Inklings - a literary group that included his close friend J.R.R. Tolkien. The Inklings will be examined in more detail in a future biography.
