Lines: 22 From: Steven J. Zeve "Tolkien's friends amoung his Oxford colleagues centered about C. S. Lewis and made up a circle, which included W. H. Lewis (his brother); the writer Charles Williams, whose several fine novels on occult and mystical subjects are (I feel, unfortunately) better known to American readers than his two fascinating volumes of Arthurian verse; and number of other congenial souls, including John Wain, Roy Campbell, and David Cecil. They made up an informal group calling themselves the Inklings, and gathered in C. S. Lewis' rooms at Magdalen College ever Thursday evening after dinner." -- first paragraph chapter two of "Tolkien: A Look Behind the Lord of the Rings" by Lin Carter No, no. I am not going to type the whole book in. (It would amoung other things be violating the copyright laws and tempting the fates with a massive display of hubris about my bad typing.)
