Despite the Oxford university locale, and despite the distinguished names associated with the group, it was not at all a serious club whatsoever. They would meet in pubs and were known to play games between them, such as who could read Creator/AmandaMcKittrickRos' work the longest without bursting into laughter.

''The Inklings'' were an informal literary discussion group that met in the 1930s and 40s in an Oxford pub called The Eagle and Child. Its members included several noted authors, most famously Creator/CSLewis and Creator/JRRTolkien. Poet Creator/HugoDyson, author Creator/CharlesWilliams, philosopher Owen Barfield, and historian Warren Lewis (the other Lewis's brother) were also members. Creator/DorothyLSayers is [[TheChick sometimes referred to as a member]], but, while she was friends with Lewis and Tolkien, university literary groups in that era were male-only.

Readings and discussions of members' works in progress was the primary purpose of the group. As a result, many works, including ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', were first shared within this group of friends. Because of this close association between the authors and their familiarity with each other's work, influences can be seen between them and even {{shoutout}}s to (at the time) unpublished works.

Because of the involvement of Lewis, Williams, and Tolkien, the Inklings are considered to have a significant influence on the genres of {{Fantasy}} and {{Mythopoeia}}.
