Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half convinced.’ Anthony Burgess ‘I think it unlikely that other books as generally entertaining… will be as generally instructive.’ W. H.

• The seven best of Lewis’s non-fiction works, presented with a fresh, contemporary look for a 21st century readership • Part of a global rebranding and repackaging initiative – these editions have sold one million copies in the USA alone in the first 18 months. • C.S. Lewis is an internationally famous name: millions have read the Narnia books but may be unaware of his adult writings.

Biographical note

Born in Ireland in 1898, Clive Staples Lewis gained a triple First at Oxford and was Fellow and Tutor at Magdalen College from 1925-54, where 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, 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 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.
