Best Answer

C.S. Lewis was a consumate writer and, like many writers, once he gets a story in his head, he (almost literally) can't stop until the story is down on paper. According to his recollection, he first got the idea for a fantasy story when he was sixteen, and began to write it when he was about forty. The story changed over the ten years it took to write, and it was published in 1949.
