EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of literary history at The Eagle and Child pub in Oxford. Stepping into this traditional English public house is like stepping back in time to the 1950s and 1960s, when legendary authors CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien would gather here with their esteemed circle of literary friends known as The Inklings. Inside, the warm and inviting interior beckons patrons to indulge in a pint of bitter or ale from the well-stocked bar. As you sip your drink, you can almost imagine these brilliant minds huddled together at one of those tables, engrossed in animated discussions about their latest works. The walls are adorned with shelves upon shelves of books, creating an atmosphere that is both cozy and intellectual. It was within these very walls that CS Lewis shared his enchanting tales from the Chronicles of Narnia while Tolkien unveiled his epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings. The architecture exudes a quintessential British charm, reflecting the rich heritage found throughout Oxfordshire. This beloved establishment has become a haven for book lovers and literature enthusiasts alike who seek solace amidst its historic ambiance. As you admire this remarkable photograph by JL from Discover Images by AWL, it serves as a poignant reminder that even ordinary places can hold extraordinary stories within their walls.
