Abstract
An information-theoretic proof of a strengthened version of the classical discrete central limit theorem is presented. Using only information-theoretic and elementary arguments, convergence to zero of the relative entropy between the standardised sum of n independent and identically distributed lattice random variables and an appropriately discretised Gaussian is established.
