Tolkien slept here

[wellinghall]

"There is a pub in Summertown,Oxford called The Eagle and Child (the bird and baby as its known locally)where a number of writers used to meet and discuss their work as part of a group called the Inklings. It is said that JRR Tolkien started reading more of his book Lord of the Rings to the club,at which CS Lewis said, 'Not more fucking elves.'"

"In actual 8th century fact, Grendel's mum was not easy on the eye (I know, I drew her for a historical piece in 5th class) and the dragon was no relation."
