C.S.Lewis: Religious Fantasy Fiction Author

Have you ever wondered how people can make such creative books as if it is nothing? C.S. Lewis was the phenomenal author of the seven, creative The Chronicles of Narnia books which he has sold more than 100 million copies. Lewis was born on November 29, 1898 in Belfast, Ireland. He was known for his Christian Faith literary works as well as his Fantasy works. Growing up struggling with his faith, C.S.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe taught Christian faith & the possibility of the impossible in Narnia. The Narnia books, especially The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, are very special in the way they get their points across.
