C.S. Lewis' classic book, The Screwtape Letters in Everyday English.


When I read Mere Christianity for the first time, I was left wondering if the average North American reader would be able to follow along without having an English-to-‘English’ dictionary at their side. Even I had to Google the meaning of some of Lewis’ 1940’s colloquialisms. Lewis himself makes reference to the changes in language and word usage over time. This led me to rework the book into Mere Christianity in Everyday English. Never did I expect such a positive response to my efforts, with a seventy percent five-star rating on Amazon. This success has led me to tackle The Screwtape Letters which Lewis had written in the year before Mere Christianity. It is hoped that The Screwtape Letters in Everyday English will likewise enable it to be enjoyed by a broader audience.


Clive Staples Lewis was a Professor of English at Oxford University and authored many famous novels including The Chronicles of Narnia and The Problem of Pain. The most recent estimate for sales of his books is in excess of 200 million copies.

David Harrison was born in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, England but spent half his life in London and SE England before moving to Sydney, Australia in 1981 and becoming an Australian citizen.

After retiring from a career in scientific research which entailed writing and publishing many scientific papers and reports, David decided he’d like to try his hand at creative writing and took a course with the poet Kate Llewellyn.

With Kate’s encouragement he started writing poetry. He was a member of the Central Coast Poets from 2004 until moving to Canberra recently and had poems published in their anthologies, as well as in Five Bells and the Quadrant Magazine.

His poem ‘Poor Man Hiro’ was awarded second prize in the Henry Kendal Poetry Award 2012 and his poem ‘In Praise of Grey’ was awarded first prize in the Free Verse Category competition of the University of the third age, Sunshine Coast. His first book of poems, ‘Songs of the Exile’ (Ginninderra Press) was published in 2017.

David is married to June from whom Paul inherits his artistic talent. Their daughter Sita has inherited David’s scientific interests.
