C. S Lewis

C. S Lewis wrote many books. His real name is Clive Staples Lewis but people called him C. S Lewis. C. S. Lewis was born in Belfast, Ireland, on November 29, 1898, to Albert J. Lewis and Florence Augusta Hamilton Lewis. Throughout his life, Lewis was known to his family and friends as "Jack"—a nickname he coined for himself at the age of four after the beloved neighborhood dog Jacksie died. Lewis had one brother, Warren Hamilton Lewis (1895–1973). Lewis's mother died of cancer in 1908 when he was just nine years old. In 1910, Lewis became a boarding student at Campbell College in Belfast, just one mile from his home, but withdrew one year later, and in 1913 Lewis enrolled at Malvern College where he remained for one year. It was there that, at age fifteen he became an atheist, abandoning the Christian faith of his childhood. From Malvern, he went into private tutoring under William T. Kirkpatrick, “The Great Knock,” who had also been his father’s tutor.

C. S Lewis wrote many books. He wrote 5 genres and wrote about 600 books. One series is Narnia which my whole class is reading this year.  Some other books are Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, Till We Have Faces, Great Divorce, The Problem of Pain, The Four Loves, and Grief Observed plus the Narnia books.

C. S Lewis’ mother died of cancer and his brother died in 1973. C. S Lewis died in 1936 and he is still famous today.
