Critically acclaimed, award-winning biography of CS Lewis, JRR
Tolkien and the brilliant group of writers to come out of Oxford
during the Second World War. C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and their
friends were a regular feature of the Oxford scenery in the years
during and after the Second World War. They drank beer on Tuesdays
at the 'Bird and Baby', and on Thursday nights they met in Lewis'
Magdalen College rooms to read aloud from the books they were
writing; jokingly they called themselves 'The Inklings'. C.S. Lewis
and J.R.R. Tolkien first introduced The Screwtape Letters and The
Lord of the Rings to an audience in this company and Charles
Williams, poet and writer of supernatural thrillers, was another
prominent member of the group. Humphrey Carpenter, who wrote the
acclaimed biography of J.R.R. Tolkien, draws upon unpublished
letters and diaries, to which he was given special access, in this
engrossing story.
