  2. C. S. Lewis 1898 Clive Staples Lewis was born on November 29 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to Albert J. Lewis (1863-1929) and Florence Augusta Hamilton Lewis (1862-1908).

  3. 1917 Upon the outbreak of World War I, Lewis enlisted in the British army. He was commissioned an officer in the 3rd Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry, on September 25 and reached the front line in the Somme Valley in France on his 19th birthday. 1931 Lewis became a Christian: One evening in September, Lewis had a long talk on Christianity with J.R.R. Tolkien (a devout Roman Catholic). 1933 The fall of this year marked the beginning of Lewis’ convening of a circle of friends dubbed “The Inklings.” For the next 16 years, on through 1949, they continued to meet about two or three times a week in a pub known to the locals as “The Bird and Baby.” Lewis’s close friend, J.R.R. Tolkien, was one of the members.

  4. 1950-1956 When Lewis published The Chronicles of Narnia, beginning in 1950, he published one a year until the seventh and last Chronicle was published in 1956. 1963 Lewis died at 5:30 p.m. at The Kilns, one week before his 65th birthday on Friday, November 22; the same day on which President Kennedy was assassinated.

  5. Dedication A dedication is when an author wholly devotes a book or piece of writing to a person or a cause in testimony of affection or respect. C.S . Lewis sent a letter to his Goddaughter, Lucy Barfield, dedicating The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to her.

  6. My Dear Lucy, I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not yet realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it off, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be… Your Affectionate Godfather, C.S. Lewis
