"Jack and Warnie: Brothers and Friends"
C. S. Lewis and his brother W. H. Lewis were best friends throughout their lives. This year at the Inklings Weekend in Montreat, we will spend time getting to know the brothers better. At times their relationship was strained during teenage years and then for the long separation after World War I before Warnie returned from China to make his home at the Kilns. For most of their lives, however, they were the best of company to one another. In the context of their relationship, Jack wrote the books that made him famous, and Warnie wrote seven books of French history that brought him honor. Joins us as we enjoy the brothers Lewis.
