Down the pub with Tolkien and C. S. Lewis

September 24, 2007 Paul Martin Comments Off on Down the pub with Tolkien and C. S. Lewis

There is magic in the last line of The Lord of the Rings. To recap: the stolidly courageous Sam Gamgee, having watched his best friend, Frodo Baggins, sail towards the Grey Havens and into a kind of death, is left to walk back to the Shire where he finds his wife and children waiting with the promise of a quiet life far from the slaughter of the War of the Ring.

The Silver Chair to film in 2008?
