During the 1930s at Oxford, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams - remarkable friends and scholars - met regularly to discuss philosophy and read aloud from their works. Their circle grew, and it was in this company which came to be called the Inkings that The Lord of the Rings and The Screwtape Letters first found audiences. Carpenter's account brings to life those warm and enchanting evenings in Lewis' room at Magdalen College where their imaginations ran wild. Humphrey Carpenter was born in Oxford and knew Tolkien, Hugo Dryson, and several other Inklings. In this audiobook, he brings to light much that was not previously known about the lives of C.S. Lewis and Charles Williams, while at the center of the book he presents a remarkable reconstruction of their meetings and momentous friendships.
