It was nice to know that Christopher Tolkien was also a member of the Inklings. I believe CS Lewis is one of the key pieces for the finished version of LotR. CS Lewis was very important for Tolkien and a dear friend for many years. I had many misconceptions about the end of the friendship between Tolkien and CS Lewis and this book helped me to understand what was the real reasons. I have my own spin-off of this group with some friends but instead of discussing literature, we just take some time to have some deep conversation about anything. I’m a big fan of J.R.R Tolkien and also the concept of the Inklings. For most people, it will probably be a 4-stars book. I’m giving it 5 stars because I enjoyed it a lot and it came at the right time for me. Tolkien, Charles Williams, and Their Friends by Humphrey Carpenter.
