The other is an Irish author born in 1898 most famous for The Chronicles of Narnia, a series set in the fictional world of Narnia.**
Well, they actually have a few things in common. Their books are wildly popular with children and adult alike. They have been read and reread for generation and have been adapted to film and stage for years.
The other thing they have in common is that today is their birthday! And you know how I feel about birthdays!
So Happy Birthday C.S.Lewis and Louis May Alcott! May your books continue to bring joy to readers everywhere!

*Alcott was a prolific writer and a really interesting person. Her dad was a transcendentalist and Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were close family friends.
**C.S. Lewis was also pretty awesome. Besides his Narnia series he wrote a science fiction trilogy and many many non-fiction books about Christianity. He was also a good friend of J.R.R. Tolkien, writer of the Lord of the Rings.
