Wolfe, Brendan.
For thirty years, the Oxford C. S. Lewis Society has met weekly in the mediaeval colleges of Oxford University. During that time, it has hosted as speakers nearly all those still living who were associated with the Inklings - the Oxford literary circle led by C. S. Lewis - as well as authors and thinkers of a prominence that nears Lewis's own. 'C. S. Lewis and His Circle' offers the reader a chance to join this unique group, with the best of traditional academic essays, thoughtful memoirs, and informal reminiscences about C. S. Lewis and his circle.
