According to the Tolkein Gateway web-site...'The Inklings was a literary discussion group associated with the University of Oxford, in England. Its members, mostly academics at the university, met between the 1930s and the 1950s. Readings and discussions of the members' unfinished works were the principal purposes of meetings. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Lewis's Out of the Silent Planet, and Williams's All Hallows Eve were among the first novels read and discussed by the Inklings. 

C.S. Lewis is said to have drawn inspiration from Malvern’s gas lamps and stunning landscape when he wrote The Chronicles of Narnia - hence it's inclusion in our special handstamp..
