Lewis ‘Boxen’ Adaptation, Tolkien Letter for Sale, and More

Door Jam: Volume 4

The Door Jam is a place to squeeze in relevant articles written about C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, their work, adaptations of their fantasy worlds, and other potentially interesting news, information and articles. I’m not necessarily endorsing (or criticizing) these, merely sharing them with you.

Also as a tease for this week, I’ll be returning to both the Tardis and a galaxy far, far away with reviews of Doctor Who and The Acolyte. People have “thoughts” about those shows right now. I’ll share some of mine later this week after we continue our walk with Lewis on how exactly we should engage with art.
