"Thus, Lewis became even more influential, even the conversion of J.R.R. Tolkien, not to mention many children through the years."
Is the writer saying that Lewis was involved in the conversion of Tolkien? To what, precisely?

Buffalo News...

...Mobile Buffalo News!

I'm imagining, updates on the latest herd movements, newsflashes about the location of the best new grass, health advice for multiple stomachs...

Maybe this is the first literary news story they have ventured to publish! Let us not discourage the larger ruminants from venturing to explore new horizons!

But, as Bunn says, it is just amazing that the buffaloes have worked out how to post using their mobile phones!
