David Gresham

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Lindsay Gresham (born 1944 in New York City) is a son of the writers Joy Davidman and William Lindsay Gresham, and stepson of the author C.S. Lewis. Lewis adopted David and his brother Douglas Gresham, and when Lewis died, his estate, including the rights to the enormously popular Chronicles of Narnia, went to them. Unlike his mother, brother, and most famously, his Christian apologist stepfather, David is not a Christian, choosing instead to follow Judaism, the religion his mother was born into.[1].

Douglas Gresham admitted in a November 15, 2005 interview with NPR that he and his brother are estranged [2]. Douglas Gresham stated in the 1996 Alt.books.cs-lewis newsgroup that "so far as he knows, his brother, who has embraced Judaism, is alive and well and living in India with his wife and one son."[3]
