Leepike Ridge Plunges Into Adventure

November 4, 2020 by Loren Eaton 2 Comments

Normally, I cast around a bit when introducing these book reviews, looking for a snappy opener or a catchy illustration.

Evangelicals like to say they love the Inklings, that group of Oxford-associated authors who produced lots of narrative-friendly prose during the 1940s. But do something for me, would you? Name as many of them as you can. I suspect that most can readily recall C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, and probably a few will cite […]
