In chapters 5-8 of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," Mr. Tumnus is arrested by the White Witch's secret police for helping Lucy and betraying the Witch. He is taken to the Witch's castle and is eventually turned into stone. Lucy and her siblings later find his statue and learn of his fate.

CS Lewis became a Christian at the age of 31, in 1930, when he decided he could no longer pretend that God existed because the evidence for him (God) was too great. This was after long discussions and intellectual battles with Christian and fellow writer JRR Tolkien (Lord of the Rings).

C.S. Lewis did not specifically define existentialism in his works. However, as a Christian thinker, he may have viewed existentialism, with its emphasis on individual freedom and responsibility, as a philosophy that could potentially conflict with his belief in a transcendent meaning and purpose provided by God.

Yes, this was a pseudonym he used to public his first work, "Spirits in Bondage" which he wrote probably while in the tutelage of the "Great Knock" circa 1915

His autobiography is entitled "Surprised By Joy". Some think that this title was taken from the name of his wife, Joy Gresham, but that is incorrect. "Joy" in this book refers to a central spiritual experience, a bittersweet longing, that Lewis encountered and sought all his life.

This is a tough question for anyone who likes C S Lewis as much as I do.....

Let's separate his books into fiction and non-fiction.

For fiction, number 1 has to be The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. The second best fiction book IMHO is The Screwtape Letters. For non-fiction, Mere Christianity is first with The Problem Of Pain being second.

"The Success of C. S. Lewis in The Chronicles of Narnia" by Amber Cowart (http://cslewis.drzeus.net/papers/success.html) states that Lewis had two main purposes in writing the Narnia Chronicles (of which The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is arguably the most popular): "to entertain the readers and to suggest analogies of the Christian faith." Lewis was a Christian who had struggled with issues of faith after losing his wife. He knew grief, anf loss, and knew how his own faith had brought him through it. He wanted to share this with children. Lewis felt that the best way to present the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a world somewhat suspicious of Christians was to "present it in a fictional world, a world in which it would be easier to accept. The audience grows to love Aslan and everything that he symbolizes; they begin to wish for someone like Aslan in this world. After finding this love for Aslan, they will ideally transfer that love to Christ when presented with the Gospel later in life."
