As many of you know, the original Rabbit Room was in the back of a pub called The Eagle and Child, which was right across the street from another Inklings haunt called The Lamb and Flag. From what I read, Lewis […]

Thanks for this. I wasn’t at Hutchmoot, but it sounds like it was great. Number 1, I’m jealous that you were there and I haven’t been (sigh, one of those sins that so easily besets me). And number 2, like the “Eagle and Child” and the “Lamb and Flag”, there are 1001 things that are “good” that I enjoy. But we know that only one thing is necessary. He is my “one thing” and I so need that reality to permeate my life; so much more to Him that I have yet to experience.

So glad you’ve found Robert Macfarlane — one of the best writers working in the English language today, in my humble opinion. I came across him through his Mountains of the Mind and have read everything he’s produced since. Can I also recommend another British writer — the Scottish nature writer Gavin Maxwell. His book Ring of Bright Water is an absolute classic of nature writing and Gavin’s ability to craft a sentence is something else.

The first time I met Thomas McKenzie, which was about twenty years ago, I said, “Do you want to hang out and be best friends one day?” I was being obnoxious, joking about how cool it would be for a non […]

And now it begins. After forty days of fasting, after the harrowing darkness of Good Friday, after the long silence of Holy Saturday, after the dawn of […]
