On Tuesday mornings in the 1930s, one could enter an Oxford pub called The Eagle and Child and find a group of six to eight rowdy, but well-dressed men reading from notebooks and manuscripts to each other. Depending on how well-read one is, they could potentially pick out that there were some very popular books being passed around. Books like The Screwtape Letters and The Lord of the Rings. The puzzling thing is that most of these titles wouldn’t be released for years, in some cases even decades. The men reading were the book’s authors: C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and other authors who would suffer less fame outside of England. They were a part of a literary group called “The Inklings.” The group was made up of professors and authors hailing from Oxford University, with C.S. Lewis as their ring leader.
I think this may be my favorite one so far. I love that you love using this wonderful gift you have!!
