Thank you William,
After our share of the CS Lewis Biography (below), there follows the surfacing of the books abandoned in a top corridor here. These two are duplicates from the library, both as magnets in subject, see picture.
'Surprised By Joy', Collins price 2/6, 1960
Richard Harries, Biography, Collins price £1.75, 1977.
It is a new experience to encounter in the digital technology. The Videos or as Youtube below has the heart rending of 'David Payne stars in this one-man play recalling the life and times of C.S. Lewis'.
This is opening the whole horizons of the Blogspot.
William, keep me briefed as we learn more.
Yours...
Donald.

Dear Father Donald,
I am overjoyed at your kindness in sending me this copy of the biography
of CS Lewis by RL Green & W Hooper. It is so thoughtful of you, and has
quite made my day! I will greatly delight in it.
I had been out with ...Jim to Mass, and thence to coffee where I showed
him the rubrics of the Divine Office, for he had this last week acquired a
bargain set, a very encouraging step [Thomas Merton's conversion through
and through, Elected Silence, chapter True North]. This also after the parish
priest had thrust upon me an ardent young man desirous to extend his
understanding of Catholic Mysticism. So I returned home very weary... until
E... pointed to a book parcel on the kitchen table which so delighted me!
Thank you so very much.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Youtube video of David Payne's biographical
portrayal of CS Lewis. By the end I almost came to believe it was
autobiographical, the actor so living his part.
Br Philip's talk - I could hear his delivery - told the beautiful story
of his own discovery of the Community at Nunraw, closing so contentedly: "The Community has a
special character of its own... it incarnates its own spirit in a life style both
old and new, and to a large extent it is through this life style that the
community spirit is to pass on to others". For so many years his
has been the 'public face' of the Community to visitors and resident
guests, and his graciousness has described to all the
Cistercian Community spirit of which he speaks so eloquently. This chapter
of the Rule could not have been presented more fittingly.
I look forward to the late evening when I can settle in the quietness to
the delight of this book on CS Lewis, thank you so very much for all your
kindness to me.
With my love in Our Lord,
William
