Diana Pavlac Glyer is an award-winning writer who has spent more than 40 years combing through archives and studying old manuscripts. She is a leading expert on C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien; her book The Company They Keep (The Kent State University Press, 2007) changed the way we talk about these writers. Her scholarship, teaching, and work as an artist all circle back to one common theme: creativity thrives in community. James A. Owen has written and illustrated the Starchild graphic novel, the Mythworld series of novels, the best-selling The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica, and the forthcoming series Fool's Hollow. His books have been translated into more than twenty languages, and more than a million copies are in print.

“No one knows more than Diana Pavlac Glyer about the internal
workings of the Inklings. In Bandersnatch, she shows us how they
inspired, encouraged, refined, and opposed one another in the
course of producing some of the greatest literature of the last one
hundred years. A brilliant and beautifully clear case study of iron
sharpening iron.”
— Michael Ward, coeditor of C. S. Lewis at Poets’ Corner
“The Inklings are about as important a group as ever existed in the
literary world. This tremendous new book about them is much
anticipated and hugely welcome!”
— Eric Metaxas, New York Times best-selling author of Bonhoeffer
and Miracles
“What a gift! Bandersnatch is a joy to read and helps dispel that
dangerous myth that our greatest writers created in solitude. We
all need community in order to do our best work, and this book will
show you how some of the greatest minds of the twentieth century
did just that. You won’t be able to read this book just once.”
— Jeff Goins, founder of Tribe Writers and author of The Art of
Work
"Besides being of interest to fans of Tolkien, Lewis, and the other
Inklings, "Bandersnatch" also is also helpful to aspiring writers,
artists, and inventors, providing suggestions on how to interact
with others in the same kind of creative collaboration the Inklings
did.'
