Suggest a new title: The Oxford of the Inklings
26. Juli 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This book takes the reader for a visit to the Oxford of the Inklings, a society that included C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Contemporary and historical photographs are complemented by text that provides context and background information on the various members of the group. This book may have been more appropriately titled The Oxford of the Inklings as it is not a comprehensive history of the Inklings, but rather more of a guide to the places where the Inklings lived, worked and gathered. Inklings fans visiting Oxford will appreciate the maps of walking tours that lead one through the streets of the city and highlight places of interest that relate to this intriguing group of friends.

Stomping grounds for apologetic genesis
10. August 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a beautiful publication suitable for display in any one's home. The photos depict the academic atmosphere that the Inklings, a group of men dedicated to theological thought and literature, lived and worked. The photography is well done and the information about the group is well presented. The pub that the group frequented,The Eagle and the Child, is photographed and described but most of the scenes are of Oxford. If you are interested in the works of JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis or any of the other Inklings, it is very important to understand the background and the time period from which they come.
The history and background of people and places is combined to form a story that is as legendary as the works for which each of the members are remembered. Based on interviews with contemporaries and friends,there are quotes, memories and anecdotes that move the story from one scenic photograph to the next architectural one. The story moves to churches, gargoyles and graveyards. A discussion of when, where and who was a part of the group as a critic and support during the writing of the most well known of the authors' works moves the story along with photos of strategic sites for writing and contemplating the contents of these huge works. A discussion of CS Lewis' relationship and marriage to Joy Davidman is an important inclusion in this story. There is a nice appendix for a walking tour of Oxford and a map of key Inkling sites. This is something anyone would love to do after reading this publication.

Stunning photography
16. Juni 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
The vast amount of detailed photographs of Oxford make this book a must-have for any fan of the Inklings or Oxford itself. Each page has full color, beautiful illustrations that make this a lovely book to set out on a coffee table. While the text itself leaves something to be desired (sometimes condescending; sometimes overly simplistic), the book as a whole is a lovely visit to a beautiful city. Possibly the most valuable aspect of the book is the last section of suggested tours for the individual who wishes to walk around Oxford herself and visit Inkling-related sites.
