C S Lewis Exhibition: Words & Worlds

There is a new C S Lewis exhibition at The Old Library, Magadelen College, Oxford, until 11 September 2024. Words & Worlds 'examines his Oxford life as teacher, scholar, writer, administrator and broadcaster, and his extensive involvement in various societies, including the Socratic Club and the Inklings.' The exhibition includes 'original manuscripts, books, letters, illustrations, audio recordings and photographs' and 'personal objects, including Lewis’s pipe, tobacco jar and pen.' It is open on Wednesday afternoons from 2pm to 4.30pm and entrance is free, though the College itself charges an entrance fee to some visitors. An exhibition catalogue is planned.

Surely there is a tale to be written about the talismanic properties of C S Lewis' tobacco jar . . .

    Thank you. The catalogue will be a must for this North Dakotan Narnian.

    Mark, I look forward to your tale of his tobacco jar. I’m sure you could transport us to new talismanic dimensions. Perhaps at least consider it. :-)
