Here is an interesting reference to the Shroud of Turin in Harper One's C. S. Lewis Blog:
He continued to write over the years, discussing such topics as the Abominable Snowman, Holst’s Planets, George MacDonald’s poetry, and the impostrous Mrs. Hooker who was passing herself off as the “wife of C. S. Lewis.” He told her of such things as the death of his beloved friend Charles Williams, his ascension to the newly-created Professorship at Cambridge, and his marriage to the dying Joy Davidman. She in turn sent him news of her health and her planned projects – and copies of many of her own published and unpublished works, in which he never failed to find some delight. She also gave him a photograph of the Shroud of Turin – which he treasured, and kept on his bedroom wall for the rest of his life.
One cannot, of course, assume that Lewis thought the Shroud authentic. The reference is nonetheless interesting.
