C. S. Lewis was born on this date in 1898. He died in 1963, on the same day as John F. Kennedy. I chose my tie to remember Lewis' fascination with animals, particularly the talking ones he introduced to us in the Chronicles of Narnia! The tessellated pattern includes lions like Aslan. They are shown upside down, which would be abnormal for a great lion like Aslan except when he was cavorting with Lucy and Susan Pevensie.
