C. S. Lewis’s bomb shelter next to the pond behind his home, The Kilns, was built by his gardener, Paxford, during World War II.
The area is now almost completely overgrown.
Among the highlights...a letter in which Tolkien discussed the death of fellow author C.S. Lewis.

The foundations for the new library at @Tyndale_House go deep below here. We aim to have every book necessary for research on the Bible. Now planning the grand opening for October 2027 (DV) but in the interim 60% of books and 40 study spaces are still available on site.
Happy Birthday to Beverly Cleary who would have been 110 this week.

From "The Jerusalem Post"...C. S. Lewis in Israel

"Turning to the bookstall, I picked out an Everyman in a dirty jacket."
C. S. Lewis's "Phantastes"
In 1916, seemingly on a whim, C.S. Lewis picked up Phantastes at a book stall in Leatherhead. This is the book that Lewis says baptized his imagination and set him on a very different path than his espoused materialism would have allowed.
Without this stroke of providence, we might not have the Lewis we read today. It is also very possible that we would not have the Tolkien we read today.
The Warren H. Lewis typewriter has returned to The Kilns, the home of C.S. Lewis, after a year on loan to the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC. Many thanks to Brenna LaGrange, Senior Collections Manager at the Museum, who personally delivered it.

The AI digital alchemy of our own age makes the Renaissance metallurgy look humble and reserved. They were just trying to turn lead into gold. We are trying to turn silicone into God.
Alister McGrath speaking last night on his new book, “Science and Religion in the Imagination of C. S. Lewis: The Quest for the Best Mental Model of the Universe” (OUP).
I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less clicked by,
And that has made all the difference.
