I thought it was worth sharing, for thinkers and readers of C.S. Lewis and the Inklings, a combined conference of the C.S. Lewis & the Inklings Societ
y with the 8th Frances White Ewbank Colloquium at Taylor University, May 31-June 2, 2012.
Speakers include: Alan Jacobs, Narnian biographer and English prof at Wheaton; Ron Reed, playwright and founder of the brilliant Pacific Theatre in Vancouver; and David Downing, author of a handful of Lewis books, prof at Elizabethtown, and a better blogger than me. The details, including a Call for Papers, are here.
If you aren’t familiar with Taylor University, it is a Christian undergrad school between Fort Wayne and Indianapolis. Notably, it holds the Edwin W. Brown Collection, a small but intriguing library of original manuscripts, first editions, letters and papers of C.S. Lewis and some of his Inkling friends.
I believe in open access scholarship. Because of this, since 2011 I have made A Pilgrim in Narnia free with nearly 1,000 posts on faith, fiction, and fantasy. Please consider sharing my work so others can enjoy it.

About Brenton Dickieson
“A Pilgrim in Narnia” is a blog project in reading and talking about the work of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, the Inklings, L.M. Montgomery, and the worlds they created. As a "Faith, Fantasy, and Fiction" blog, we cover topics like children’s literature, myths and mythology, fantasy, science fiction, speculative fiction, poetry, theology, cultural criticism, art and writing.
This blog includes my thoughts as I read through my favourite writings and reflect on my own life and culture. In this sense, I am a Pilgrim in Narnia--or Middle Earth, or Fairyland, or Avonlea. I am often peeking inside of wardrobes, looking for magic bricks in urban alleys, or rooting through yard sale boxes for old rings. If something here captures your imagination, leave a comment, “like” a post, share with your friends, or sign up to receive Narnian Pilgrim posts in your email box.
