Clive Staples Lewis wurde 1898 in Belfast geboren und war schon als Kind von den Märchen, Mythen und Legenden des Landes fasziniert. Viele Jahre später, während seiner Zeit als Professor an der Universität Cambridge, begann er seine Ideen aufzuschreiben. So entstanden nach und nach die sieben Chroniken von Narnia, für die er mit dem begehrten Carnegie Award ausgezeichnet wurde.
