 Lewis is one of the most beloved of Christian writers. During his lifetime, he's widely reported to have said that he thought he would be forgotten after he died. He died on November 22nd, 1963, a day that is marked in infamy because it was also the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. And Lewis' death was, in fact, lost behind that of JFK. But Lewis' works have stood the test of time. Arguably, they have aged well and have gotten better over time.
