Drawing on unpublished letters and diaries, the author examines the friendship between and the social and literary gatherings of Lewis, Tolkien, and Williams who laughingly called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

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.
