Meredith GreshamMeredith "Merrie" Gresham was born in colonial East Africa toward the end of WWII before moving, at the age of five, to a small farm in pioneering Tasmania.She trained as a nurse at Calvary Hospital in Hobart and then travelled to London where she nused at St. Thomas' Hospital on the banks of the River Thames. Merrie caught the eye of a young agricultural student, Douglas Gresham, the step-son of the then little-known Oxford academic and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis. The two were married and re-emigrated to Tasmania where they once again took up farming. But as interest in the life and writings of Lewis increased over the years, Douglas and the family were caught up in a whirlwind of international travel, speaking tours, book signings, movie scripts and premieres. The couple have five children and eleven grandchildren. They now reside on Malta. Read More Read Less
