C. S. Lewis Society Meeting Last Night

Last evening, we attended the second meeting of the Society for this term.  The speaker was Dr. Evelyn Perry from Framingham State Univ.  Her topic was: "Rereading the Subject: C. S. Lewis' The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe as Memoir."  She stayed with us at the Kilns for several days and we got to be good friends.  I have pictures this time!  One of my nieces complained about not having pictures, so I took my camera.  Well, not a real camera, but my phone, so the shots are not that great, but they work.

This is a shot from the corner of the room.  The Society meets in a room in Pusey House.  It was a big crowd - over 50 - but that happens when someone gives a talk on a Narnia book.

Here is Sheila talking to a friend of Prof. Perry named Martin.  Martin is a leading scholar in the study of World War II evacuees, such as the children depicted in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe.

Here we have James Crocker, the current Society president, kicking off the meeting, announcing that Alister McGrath is going to be speaking next Monday night at Christ Church about Lewis and Christian apologetics.  Seated beside him is Prof. Perry.  Sheila, in her hat, is sitting next to Martin and to her right is Sarah Clarkson, the student-writer who I mentioned in another post of this blog.

And of course here we are with Prof. Perry.
