We took a quick trip to Wheaton College today, where you can see Tolkien's desk and Lewis's wardrobe. I was struck by how small Tolkien's desk is. He wrote, typed, and illustrated the Hobbit on this desk. He worked on the Lord of the Rings at it, as well. I can hardly imagine getting my knees under it. Lewis's wardrobe seems huge in contrast. They even let you open the wardrobe!

Oh how cool! Is the Lewis wardrobe made from wood from Narnia? (What is it made from in the book, something like an apple of cherry tree?)
I have a literary question for you, maybe you or one of your readers can answer...
I read Dumas' The Man in the Iron Mask some years ago after seeing the Jeremy Irons movie. I remember distinctly feeling very disappointed in the book - the movie was very different but I thought, at least at the time, vastly better.
As I recall now, it seems like the Musketeers are very ignoble and that might wins out over right. Did I read the book aright (and/or am I remembering it aright)?
