Drawing on unpublished letters and diaries, the author examines the friendship between and the social and literary gatherings of Lewis, Tolkien, and Williams who laughingly called themselves the Inklings.

4 stars

I've never read a biography like this before, and not just because it is (ambitiously) about multiple very different people. It's as engrossing as a novel.
