C S Lewis
18 Answers
16 October 1950 was the day on which The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe , one of the great children's novels was first published.
The first of C S Lewis's , The Chronicles Of Narnia
When it came out it was a very muted response apparently , but has gone on to be made into films and TV programmes .
It has sold over 100 million copies
I read it at school
Have you read it or any of the others in the chronicles ?
I also read the 'Voyage Of
The Dawn Treader '
The illustration of the 'Beast ' scared the living daylights out of me , as a child

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I remember reading and being totally enthralled by The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe as a young kid. Up until then, i had existed mainly on a diet of Famous Five, Secret Seven and Just William - all great children's books- but CS Lewis opened the door to a whole new genre for me. One which has lasted a lifetime. Hence my (still-growing) collection of books by Stephen King.
tiggs here's the imbd list but honestly I wouldn't bother. https:/ /www.im db.com/ list/ls 0460933 70/

I read all of the above favourites mostly and one that is hardly mentioned now is Billy Bunter. Completely un pc now for various reasons,but the actual writing was very comical in a descriptive way. I've read a lot of John Grisham and he has the ability to make you laugh hard one minute and shake your head in sadness the next. Excellent descriptive writing.
Billy Bunter was written by a very busy author indeed, even more so than Enid Blyton
