C. S. Lewis

C.S. Lewis (29 November 1898 – 22 November 1963) was the author of The Chronicles of Narnia, a series of seven fantasy novels, starting with The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It was inspired by a visit from the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond. They gave him a copy of The Professor, the Queen and the Bookshop, a novel they had written based on his. (DWM: The Professor, the Queen and the Bookshop)

C.S. Lewis died on the same day as the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy, 22 November 1963, which was also coincidentally the day before the very first broadcast of Doctor Who.
