Irony

Our world would be poorer without two other worlds: Narnia and Middle-earth. Yet if two young professors had not met at an otherwise ordinary Oxford faculty meeting in 1926, those wondrous lands would still be unknown to us.

J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis remain two of my favorite authors, helping to portray the Christian salvation story (and our place in it) in such glorious, epic, inspiring ways.

My hat's off to you, warrior-poets!  I can't wait for Tolkien's "The Hobbit", slated to come out around Christmas.
