exciting and fascinating quest.'

man, for his outstanding gift is clarity.'

be as generally instructive'

Observer [on Miracles] 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.
