Tolkien & Lewis
3Dec2003 Filed under: LinkageSalon.com Books | The real fellowship of the ring
[C.S.] Lewis was unswervingly supportive of Tolkien during the long gestation, but the other Inklings could be brutal: Dyson, for one, was known to snarl, “Oh fuck, not another elf!” as Tolkien read another section of the epic in his usual rapid-fire mumble.

Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

And through the looking glass once more, never to return.
You seem like a smart baked good. Have you seen through the looking glass?
Each journey ends with a single step, but some things are enternally true. No amount of civilisation or cynicism can deny this.
Those guys knew that aswell.
Ze Koan to you!
