C. S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis was a famous Anglican writer and theologian. His work, Mere Christianity, inspired and continues to inspire many people to come to the faith. While a literature professor at Oxford University in Oxford, England, he wrote many works that have become classics. He is best known for his fiction, like The Screwtape Letters and The Chronicles of Narnia. Even today, C.S. Lewis is still widely read and influential.

This Irishman famously did not like sweets and felt that food should be substantial. But he did enjoy simple rice pudding on a cold winter night. After leaving a dinner party, he once wrote, “What a typically female choice for a snowy evening – fruit salad! It would be cruel to ask for splendor in a poor society, but why not an honest rice pudding?”

So, while enjoying this simple but tasty dessert, grab a blanket, gather your family around, tell some stories, and remember what Lewis said, “Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
