The Tolkien Letters that Changed C.S. Lewis’ Life (On Tolkien’s Birthday)
Today is J.R.R. Tolkien’s birthday. Born on January 3, 1892, he would be 127 today if he had been a longliver or immortal. To celebrate the occasion I decided to reblog my most popular Tolkien post. Tolkien’s work has made many … Continue reading

C.S. Lewis was part of a WWII-era literary group called the Inklings that included authors like J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, and Roger Lancelyn Green. Among those that I might consider “Honourary Inklings,” Frederick Buechner has, for me, pride of place. … Continue reading
