Leaving a Malvern pub one night with fellow Oxford faculty member J.R.R. Tolkien, a gas lamp glowing in the snow caused Lewis to comment, “that would make a very nice opening line to a book”. It did, featuring in the Narnia series’ first book The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe as a beacon of safety for Lucy and Mr. Tumnus the faun.
