'The Oxford Inklings, an informal group of literary friends, met weekly from around 1933 to 1963, often in the Eagle and Child public house or in C.S. Lewis's rooms in Magdalen College. They talked about ideas, read together pieces they were writing, and enjoyed a good evening of the 'cut and parry of prolonged, fierce and masculine argument'.' From the inside flap. It is important to remember that The Lord of the Rings, which Tolkien began in 1937 was read out loud to the Inklings. The Inklings called it the 'new Hobbit', and writing in 1965 to Clyde S. Kilby, Tolkien wrote, 'But for the encouragement of C.S. Lewis I do not think that I should have completed or offered for publication The Lord of the Rings'. A comprehensive guide to the lives, thought and writings of the Inklings, that group of Oxford friends which included among others C S Lewis, J R R Tolkien, Charles Williams and Owen Barfield. CONTENTS: Preface, Part 1: The Life and Times of the Inklings, The Inklings: A Chronology, The Making of Narnia, J.R.R.
