Our grandson, Benny just graduated from preschool and is excited to read these books! 📚 He’s been reading on his own since age four and we are very proud of him. Kids who are read to young become early readers! (He’s also very keen on flashlights ~ something we try to keep stocked in our Little Free Library).

If you love France, there’s something about reading a story set here that hits differently. These books go beyond the surface, pulling you into daily life, history, and moments that feel uncomfortably real at times. A couple of them stayed with me long after I finished. See Comment 👇

J. R. R. Tolkien believed in his friend C. S. Lewis so much that he nominated Lewis for the Nobel Prize in Literature.

When Lewis died, Tolkien wrote about “the unpayable debt” he owed him. The greatest of those debts, he said, was Lewis’s “sheer encouragement” over many years to keep writing.

“He was for long my only audience,” Tolkien explained. “Only from him did I ever get the idea that my ‘stuff’ could be more than a private hobby. But for his interest and unceasing eagerness for more, I should never have brought The Lord of the Rings to a conclusion. We owed each a great debt to the other, and that tie, with the deep affection that it begot, remained.”

Lewis spoke in similar terms about Tolkien and their circle of friends:

“What I owe them is incalculable,” he wrote. “Is any pleasure on earth as great as a circle of Christian friends by a good fire?”

Their friendship helped give birth to some of the most beloved books ever written, including The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia.

Together, those worlds of hobbits, lions, wardrobes, and wandering kings have sold hundreds of millions of copies worldwide. A reminder that sometimes, behind every great writer, there is a friend feeding the fire while the rest of the world sleeps. 📚🔥
