A pretty good book, taking the reader back to nineteen fifty Oxford just after the breakup of the infamous Inklings. It is also a romance. May seem a little preachy at times. ( )

Fantastic. All three of this series was incredible, I have read them more than once. Especially for Lewis fans. I didn't want the series to end. ( )

Inklings is a delightful first novel set in the Oxford of the early 1960s and focused on the courtship of an Oxford don who studied under C S Lewis, the great Christian literary critic and apologist, and his American acquaintance who's come to Oxford to study great literature. This effort evokes the charm and mystery of Oxford and its beautiful landscapes, as well as depicting the impact of C S Lewis and the other writers, including J R R Tolkien, known as the Inklings, on Oxford literary culture and the lives of those who treasure their works. The series, subtitled, The Oxford Chronicles, promises to be a rich treasure for three kinds of readers: (1) those who enjoy a narrative of chaste courtship; (2) those who love the work, life, and times of C S Lewis, and/or (3) those who would love to remember/encounter Oxford, "the city of gleaming spires." I heartily recommend this work to all three groups; I can't wait for the next two in the series.
