Born in Ireland in 1898, Clives Staples Lewis gained a triple First at Oxford and was Fellow and Tutor at Magdalen College from 1925-54, where among others he was a contemporary of Tolkien. In 1954 he became Professor of Mediaeval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge. C. S. Lewis was for many years an atheist, until his conversion which he memorably described in his autobiography Surprised by Joy: I gave in, and admitted that God was God ... perhaps the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England. He is also celebrated for his famous series of children's books, the Narnia Chronicles (which have been filmed and broadcast many times), as well as his literary criticism and science fiction. C. S. Lewis died on 22nd November 1963.

Reviews for The Complete C. S. Lewis Signature Classics: Boxed Set

'I read C. S. Lewis for comfort and pleasure' John Updike 'He has a quite unique power for making theology an attractive, exciting and fascinating quest.' Times Literary Supplement 'C. S. Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half convinced' Anthony Burgess 'He is admirably equipped to write spiritual biography for the plain man, for his outstanding gift is clarity.' Sunday Times 'I think it unlikely that other books as generally entertaining... will be as generally instructive' W. H. Auden 'A brilliant book, abounding in lucid exposition and illuminating metaphor.' Observer [on Miracles]
