Wardrobes and Rings

Julia Golding is a multi-award-winning novelist, writing for adults, young adults and children. Over a million of her books have been published in over 20 languages. Malcolm Guite is a bestselling poet and author, and is in great demand as a speaker and performer. Simon Horobin is Fellow and Tutor in English at Magdalen College and has lectured and published widely on C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. He holds the position that C.S. Lewis had when he was at the college.

"C.S. Lewis once famously said, at an Inklings meeting in The Eagle & Child, after drinking only three pints before lunch, that he was “going short for Lent.” I felt a similar sense of abstemiousness as I read this book. If it counts as an ascetic journey through the wilderness to read Lewis, Tolkien and other writers in their circle, while enjoying the richly helpful guidance of Golding, Guite and Horobin, then I can hardly imagine what I’m going to do for Christmas. Feast on this fast!"
