The Ransom Trilogy is a sci-fi series, of which the oft recommended That Hideous Strength is the third and final book
The Pilgrim's Regress is a take on Bunyan's famous The Pilgrim's Progress
The Screwtape Letter's is an epistolary novel about a demon mentoring a younger demon
The Great Divorce is about a bus-trip from hell
Til We Have Faces is a Christianized version of the myths of Cupid and Psyche

and of course the most famous are the children's Narnia books.
The Ransom Trilogy (sometimes called the Space, or Cosmic, trilogy) is my favorite, though it doesn't get very theological until the 2nd book. Notable for its medieval cosmological view applied to a novel on space travel.

Oh, I thought OP said fiction. Oh well, read the fiction, too.

Mere Christianity is the best introduction to his non-fiction works, and probably the most famous.

He was a conservative Anglican. Church of England, before they went totally gay. He is admired by Protestants and Catholics alike, he's not really a theologian, and doesn't get into denominational controversies in his writing, but sticks to fundamental Christian truths. Read him, he's not going to yabber on about Marian dogma or anything. He's very popular among Anglicans, Catholics, Reformed Baptists, Presbyterians, etc.

No. I will read HG Wells nonfiction instead.
