Books by C. S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis (1898–1963) was a British writer, scholar, and lay theologian who held chairs at both Oxford and Cambridge. He is best known for The Chronicles of Narnia and his popular apologetics, including Mere Christianity and Surprised by Joy. He married Joy Davidman in 1956, initially as a civil arrangement to secure her right to remain in England, and fell deeply in love with her before her death from cancer in 1960. A Grief Observed, written in the months immediately after her death, is his most personally revealing work. He died in 1963, three years after Joy.
