Charles Williams and Chesterton

Read the other Inkling. As many readers know, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Williams and others met in an informal group called the Inklings at the Eagle and Child Pub in Oxford (also known as the Bird and Baby) or in Lewis' rooms. Williams wrote Lewis after reading one of his books, and Lewis wrote Williams after reading The Place of the Lion. Lewis, Tolkien and Williams all wrote in different styles. Williams' novels have been called "supernatural shockers". They are novels of ideas interwoven with suspenseful action, usually with occult themes. For something completely different, try Charles Williams. Also see Thomas Howard's companion guide to CW's novels below. For more information or to order, click on the picture.

Victorian writer G.K. Chesterton wrote at the turn of the century, and some of these novels are 100 years old. Known for his Father Brown mystery stories, Chesterton's novels span the genres, from detective stories to fantasy, often combining them as in The Man Who Was Thursday, which is subtitled, "A Nightmare." These books have continued to fascinate readers for ten decades, and some of them seem more up to date than when they were written. There is no one like GKC. No wonder these books are enjoying a revival. For more information or to order, click on the picture.
