Tolkien once described the Inklings club as “An undetermined and unelected circle of friends who gather around C S lewis, our habit was to read aloud compositions of various kinds ....and lengths !" One cannot underestimate how the loud encouragement this circle of friends gave one another helped produce some of the most important and popular books of the 20th century. Not only Fantasy classics such as The Chronicles Of Narnia and The Lord Of The Rings but also important religious works such as Lewis’s “Mere Christianity” a book which has sold over two hundred million copies. At a relaxed pace, we will explore many sites and stories associated with this eclectic group, concentrating not only on C.S. Lewis and J.R.R Tolkien but also some of the other Inklings such as Owen Barfield and a man who was a great influence on Lewis, Charles Williams. Whilst taking in Oxford's stunning architecture we shall wander the grounds of a beautiful medieval College associated with the Inklings and visit The University Church of Saint Marys {Where Lewis gave talks} - any entrance fees are included in the price We shall also walk by many of their regular haunts such as The Eagle And Child pub & Eastgate Hotel. I shall also regale great stories of which I have collected over many years Other things to note Comfortable foot wear is highly recommended, roads in Oxford are uneven in places.

Oxford è una città meravigliosa e una chiacchierata davanti a un drink in un paio dei pub più antichi della città rende la l'esperienza molto più piacevole. Ci incontreremo nel tardo pomeriggio e vi mostrerò i luoghi iconici e vi racconterò della storia, personaggi e eventi che hanno influenzato il mondo. Con tanti pub quanti college nel centro della città, c'è un'ampia scelta di dove sedersi e assorbire secoli di informazioni. Prova una birra locale, bevi dove un tempo c'erano le scuderie medievali, contempla le mura della città sassone, osserva le stranezze degli antichi stabilimenti, siediti dove sedevano personaggi famosi della letteratura. Il tutto a breve distanza l'uno dall'altro. Vedrai monumenti storici, edifici di fama mondiale e siti in cui si sono svolti eventi che hanno plasmato il mondo. Ascolta le leggende, i fatti e le fantasie nascoste dietro ogni angolo di questo luogo magico mentre ti rilassi accanto al fuoco o nel giardino dei pub che sono gemme nascoste. Altre cose da tenere a mente Se hai domande e hai bisogno di indicazioni specifiche, contattami. Sarò contenta di aiutarti.
