221 pp. A substantial early study of Williams's life and writings, frequently cited in bibliographies and resource lists on the Inklings and on Williams in particular.

Tolkien, and exploring his distinctive blend of fantasy, theology, and romantic theology. The book provides background on his life and influences, discusses the Arthurian poems, and analyses themes such as co-inherence, sacramentalism, and the interplay between imagination and spiritual truth. Blue cloth boards clean and bright, titles legible. Binding firm; no loose pages. Pages clean and unmarked, with light age-toning only; no underlining or highlighting. No ownership marks.
