I know it has been awhile since I posted the 1st pictures from the Chicago trip, but midterms were upon us...Here we are at the Marion Wade Center at Wheaton University. Some how this place has one of the largest collections of items from the Inklings outside England. The ducks are resting just below the wardrobe that inspired CS Lewis to write the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Yes, you can touch it, yes you can go near it, no I did not go inside, but..
the ducks did :) there was no specific mention of Narnia, but I think they found something....
As the gold plate says this is JRR Tolkien's desk...
next the desk of CS Lewis and roaming around Chicago
I needed a little inspiration today so I was looking through my pictures from the Chicago trip and found these three. First the view is awesome.
this one is CS Lewis' desk, chair, and wardrobe. How intimidating, yet inspiring.
this plaque is from a display that was holding stuff from GK Chesterton. I like very much the fact that CS Lewis sometimes had to resort to the dining table to do his writing. My current desk is an old farm table that held displays from Bath and Body Works. I was able to buy it when we closed the store. Trust me, I can fill it with books faster than you could sit down to dinner at it.
