Explore Myth and Imagination: A 6-Week Journey through the Works of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien
Join us for a six-week literary adventure as we delve into the lives and imaginations of two of the most influential writers of the 20th century—C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Through an in-depth exploration of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and The Hobbit, we’ll uncover how myth, friendship, and imagination shaped their writing and the worlds they created.
