C.S. Lewis 1898 - 1998

29. november 1998 marked the centennary of the birth of C.S. Lewis.

Britain's Royal Mail (to be found at http://www.royalmail.com) commemorated him (and others) on the stamp set Magical Worlds. One of the stamps depicts The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

C.S. Lewis lived from 1898 till 1963. He was born in Northern Ireland, but as an adult he moved to England. Here he spent his life, as a lecturer and later a professor of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Oxford and Cambridge.
He was a recognized authority in his own academic field, but he is perhaps even better known as author of apologetics books, and of fiction, especially his children's books The Chronicles of Narnia (with original illustrations and covers by Pauline Baynes).


The first of the Chronicles (in order of writing), The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, is now coming as a live-action movie.
