As a child Clive Staples C.S. Lewis loved stories. With his brother Warren he wrote stories about a placed called Animal Land. Clive was imaginative even as an adult. He always knew that one day he would write something important. Clive spent most of his adult life teaching at Oxford University and writing books for adults. While there he met John Ronald Reuel Tolkien who wrote Lord of the Rings. Both writers liked stories about people and animals living in mythical far-off lands.
