What was C.S. Lewis most famous for?

C.S. Lewis is most famous for his children's fantasy series, *The Chronicles of Narnia*.

This series, which includes titles like *The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe*, has sold over 100 million copies worldwide and been adapted into numerous films, stage productions, and other media.

However, Lewis was also a prolific writer in other genres, including:

* Christian apologetics: He wrote extensively on the defense of Christian faith, including *Mere Christianity* and *The Problem of Pain*.

* Science fiction: He wrote *Out of the Silent Planet*, *Perelandra*, and *That Hideous Strength*, collectively known as the *Space Trilogy*.

* Literary criticism: He wrote essays and books on literature, including *The Allegory of Love* and *A Preface to Paradise Lost*.

While *The Chronicles of Narnia* is his most recognized work, Lewis's legacy extends beyond children's literature to encompass a broad spectrum of theological, philosophical, and literary contributions.
