It reminded me of a combination of <I>Star Trek, The Odyssey</I>, <I>Treasure Island</I> and <I>The Unwanted Adventure of Harold Greenhouse</I>. <BR/><BR/>About the "mike" comment... it is not actually "<I>the</I> Mike". It's really Mike the mechanic, who changes my oil every three months.Jeremy W.

Really don't even expect that he lurks over by my place. Sigh. Oh to be more intellectual. I did do a C.S. Lewis post once....no one thought it was nearly as brilliant as I did :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25921616.post-50067033826787136912008-03-08T18:36:00.000-05:002008-03-08T18:36:00.000-05:00I couldn't believe it myself when I stumbled upon ...I couldn't believe it myself when I stumbled upon the BBC recordings online. Glad you enjoyed the discovery as much as I did! <BR/><BR/>About his voice... I suspect Lewis may be using a formal "radio broadcast" voice, the sort of voice expected by radio listeners in the 40s. Initially---and to my horror!---C.S. Lewis sounded like the narrator of an old Disney classics movie... That inpression quickly dissipated, though, when I heard the insightful, familiar and engaging words he was actually saying. <BR/><BR/>I suppose I will have to wait until glory to hear Lewis speaking in his jocular and affable "tea drinking, pipe smoking, visiting with good friends" voice...Jeremy W.
