I was just thinking about how cool it must have been for him as a child listening to his dad reading Hobbit chapters, and sending Father Christmas letters to the kids. And then when he was older he went to Inkling meetings and read each new LOTR chapter as it was written to the guys. I mean, to sit in the same room with the Lewis brothers, Tolkien, Charles Williams, and all those guys and listen to them talk and even join in their conversations! What greater bliss could there be?
You know they liked Christopher too. They loved for him to read "the new Hobbit" , as they called LOTR before it had a title, b/c J.R.R.Tolkien mumbled so badly.[/i]
