C.S. Lewis

Early Life
Born on November 29, 1898 in Belfast, Ireland, Clive Staples Lewis, or C.S. Lewis is the author of The Chronicles of Narnia. The son of Albert James Lewis (1863-1929) and Florence Augusta Lewis (1862-1908), and younger brother of Warren Hamilton Lewis (1895-1973), C.S. was educated by private tutors until the age of ten. When his mother died of cancer in 1908, however, Lewis was sent to the Wynyard School in Watford, Hertfordshire to be educated alongside his brother. Lewis stayed at the Wynyard school until 1910 when it was shut down. In subsequent years, Lewis shuffled in and out of various institutes including Campbell College and Malvern College.
