520    "A stirring group biography of the Inklings, the Oxford 
       writing club featuring J.R.R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis   
       C.S. Lewis is the twentieth century's most widely read 
       Christian writer and J.R.R. Tolkien its most beloved 
       mythmaker. For three decades, they and their closest 
       associates formed a literary club known as the Inklings, 
       which met weekly in Lewis's Oxford rooms and a nearby pub.
       They read aloud from works in progress, argued about 
       anything that caught their fancy, and gave one another 
       invaluable companionship, inspiration, and criticism.  In 
       The Fellowship, Philip and Carol Zaleski offer the first 
       complete rendering of the Inklings' lives and works. Lewis
       maps the medieval mind, accepts Christ while riding in the
       sidecar of his brother's motorcycle, becomes a world-
       famous evangelist and moral satirist, and creates new 
       forms of religiously attuned fiction while wrestling with 
       personal crises. Tolkien transmutes an invented mythology 
       into a breathtaking story in The Lord of the Rings, while 
       conducting groundbreaking Old English scholarship and 
       elucidating the Catholic teachings at the heart of his 
       vision. This extraordinary group biography also focuses on
       Charles Williams, strange acolyte of Romantic love, and 
       Owen Barfield, an esoteric philosopher who became, for a 
       time, Saul Bellow's guru. Romantics who scorned rebellion,
       fantasists who prized sanity, Christians with cosmic reach,
       the Inklings sought to revitalize literature and faith in 
       the twentieth century's darkest years--and did so"--
