What a treat! There seem to be fewer and fewer pockets of this appreciation for the old and wondrous words, and I think your readings and this channel are a hidden dragon's gem!
Thank you for this channel! My wife and I converted to Catholicism a little over a year ago, and while we were doing it I picked back up my love for reading, and picked up a love of pipe smoking. My daughter falls to pieces at night if I have to work late and my wife has to read Narnia instead. I’ve also started my masters in Literature, and I’m writing my first paper on C.S. Lewis. Your channel has been a breath of fresh air in both a spiritual and literary manner.
i sit for hours on a tractor during harvest and autumn and spring planting. Now have found anougher excellent go to education. thank you from new zealand.
The prices I would pay to have this man as a grandfather are staggering. Cheers Malcolm. Always so good to end my night with a telling of a story by you.
Tolkein was instrumental in Lewis' acceptance of Christ. Their friendship is an outstanding example of how to outreach in a manner that changes lives instead of just annoying people. Lewis of course did not become Catholic like Tolkein but this was never an issue between them. I do not recall the exact wording but Tolkien had to say on the matter of Lewis choosing a different flavor of Christianity something to the effect of, "I am first and foremost a follower of Jesus Christ, and after that I am a Catholic".
If you ever read Arthur Machen's story "The Great Return," tell us if you liked it. Machen is best known for a few horror stories written early in his career, but "The Great Return" is a wonder-tale in what was then the present day. It's one of my favorite stories. I also love Machen's late story "N." Machen was not personally acquainted with any of the Inklings so far as I know, though Dorothy L. Sayers had a little contact with him, I believe, when she was anthologizing mystery and horror stories. "N" introduces us to the Victorian pastor the Rev. Mr. Hampole -- I think "Hampole" comes from Richard Rolle of Hampole, the late medieval mystic. The quotations from Mr. Hampole's book in this story and in Machen's late novel The Green Round are enticing.
What a wonderful treat! I've never read the whole Narnia stories. I got to remedy that. Such an evocative work! It is clearly meant to be read out loud. Thank you very much for sharing this!
My pipe comes tomorrow. I have been researching for my book and picked up Copperplate calligraphy to better understand clerical work. I am putting the kettle on for tea right now. Thank you for sharing your lovely contemplating space and sharing your stories. I hope to make people smile with delight like you do. God Bless
I am so glad to find your channel. I've been reading your poetry as well. I discovered Lewis when I was 11. He was my guide to Jesus and Christianity. I remember running to tell my mother about Aslan being Jesus. I read MacDonald's fairy tales and children's books at the same time. I have hard back copies of the Chronicles with Baynes' drawings. Thank you for your poetry. I've introduced my daughter to it and she loves it.
having discovered your channel recently thanks to the gift of the algorithms, and having enjoyed your back catalogue greatly, to see a new video from you in my updates fills me up with happiness, Malcolm.
Honestly you really don't , from an older Man that wishes he was younger , but acts younger until my body keeps reminding me to act my age 😂 enjoy your life whatever your age .😊
The eagle and child yes! Spent many hours enjoying a guiness in there. Tolkien and CS Lewis would meet up and enjoy pints together there. If you look closely at the pub sign it’s an eagle carrying a baby. This is where Tolkien got the inspiration for the eagles carrying the hobbits from mount doom
It is so wonderful, Malcolm, to hear in your voice and see your excitement build as you read us this story. Poor Eustace certainly had himself a fright! Cheers.
I had a papa,who i called Dad, he was the most wonderful darling. It's been 20 years now. Grandparents are so special. They taught me to respect and value our good human beings .This granddaughter of his misses him every day. Storytellers of the world are true treasures. Take nothing and no one for granted.
Thank you sir! I now believe I must revisit Narnia when I finish the Duncton series I am currently reading! What a pleasure to hear you read as I enjoy a pipe!
I love your Pauline Bates illustrated hardback. Thank-you for reading from it. I found that scene with Eustace Scrubb and the dragon electrifying as a child, and I think it’s magnificent.
In my X altherithming I’ve come across you my Sr. Don’t smoke pipe, don’t read books but smoke cigarettes. I read books on apps,but not your typical books. I’m intrigued and will follow. Love this.
From someone who really has enjoyed this channel the last few weeks... if Malcolm got some better lighting, I think the channel would skyrocket. Even if Malcolm needs a certain light-level to read by, you can always get some directional lighting that may be even better than what he's used to reading by.
Hi Malcolm! Thanks for the tip about Carpenter's book. I was delighted to discover I can enjoy that title for free as an Audible member. I hope this applies to UK members as well. Blessings to you and yours.
Greetings from Appalachia. Your videos are always such a gift. I wish I had a dragon's claw pipe to enjoy it with. Maybe there's some dragon's gold somewhere in one of these valleys I could buy one with. Let the search begin!
Thank you so much, it’s very relaxing and heartwarming listening to you read to use..it takes me back to my childhood… what wonderful times as a child I had..!!
I’m so glad I found this channel it’s truly fantastic. I have never been a fan of reading, admittedly it’s because I struggle to concentrate but you make me want to keep trying. Thank you!!
Thank you for reigniting my imagination with your wonderful way of reading and commenting. My kids just asked me the other night if I would read them the Narnia series once again. I was very happy to oblige. And now to hear you read with such passion is a blessing for the child in me. Slainte!
I loved reading The Chronicles of Narnia as a child, and enjoyed re-reading them to my boys when they were younger. Beautifully read. Your study is so atmospheric; I can almost smell the pipe smoke 😊
Another lovely reading - I don’t think I ever got as far as The Dawn Treader in the series as a kid. I do remember the first time a teacher introduced us to the Narnia books - sitting there in stunned silence and enchantment in the classroom. Listening today, i wonder how much of Lewis himself was in those characters - that part about wanting to be more connected with other humans and all that. Absolutely marvellous.
Just wanted to say that you have inspired me to read the books of Lewis and Tolkien. I did try once to read The Lord Of The Rings and at the time just couldn't get a grasp on it. Thanks for encouraging me to try once more. God Bless
Making Smoke rings is an art. Only once in perfectly still air did I accidentally get one smoke ring to go through another...Have not been able to do it again...lol
@AllSortsOfStuff58 All things in moderation. I find it very relaxing, so nicotine in small amounts is actually neuro protective; has the affect on the body creating more Acetylcholine receptors.
a dragon is a creature born under evil stars...dis iratis natus... Phaedrus first cent AD...doomed to guard a treasure it will never use... the grandaddy of them all!
huh, reminiscent of that HP Lovecraft story, though the name escapes me. I'm excited to reread the narnia series this year for the first time since my father read it to me when I was too young to read to myself.
My wife and I are re-reading the Narnia books together out loud in the evenings - in our 50"s ; "we are old enough for fairy tales again!"
Excellent. I read all seven books to my wife at her request!
What a treat! There seem to be fewer and fewer pockets of this appreciation for the old and wondrous words, and I think your readings and this channel are a hidden dragon's gem!
I could listen to this being read by Malcolm from beginning to end . Absolutely fabulous.

Wonderful t o think of this finding its way to a tractor in New Zealand!
The prices I would pay to have this man as a grandfather are staggering.
Cheers Malcolm. Always so good to end my night with a telling of a story by you.
But he's all our friend and grandfather !
One never tires of Lewis - nor of Malcolm's readings. Both are treats.
Interesting how one can stumble upon a dragon when we wander into places we shouldn’t be. Great video, sir. Thank you for sharing.
I love the meeting of Eustace and Aslan it reads so true, it is what Christ does to us repeatedly!
I'm going to read that part next!
Thank you Malcolm from Italy! I'm reading your collection of poetry for Lent and it's very inspiring. Davide
These episodes are as welcome as having a pint 🍺 and smoke 💨 with a friend at "The Green Dragon" 🐲 would be!!

I must read some Machen, I believe he was also an influence on Charles Williams

You should do whole book reading . People need your voice.

Thanks for the encouragement, glad you can read to your daughter too!
In my perfect Universe, this man would be a very close neighbor... just enough distance to keep his - and my - novel identity.
Good Evening 😊 Awesome Video👌🏽Great read this book 💯 Beautiful pipe 😍Thanks For Sharing 👍🏼 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦

Welcome aboard!
You are a treasure I would never have known. Many thanks to U Tube!
I have absolutely no idea how i ended up here! But im glad i clicked. Incredibly easy to listen to. Intelligent and engrossing. 😊
Welcome!
If we could could a several hour compilation video of Malcolm reading and smoking to fall asleep to, I could die pleased.
Love listening to you Malcolm unfortunately it is rare people get to listen to someone as eloquent as yourself these days
"But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again". C S Lewis . Love your channel. Best regards Ron
Just finishing book 7 of Harry Potter! I'm 45
@@Chron_Dawg78 Oh, you've outdone me. I was 20.
Oh Im there. So happy to have returned
Lewis is so efficient with his words, yet so beautifully poetic.
I wish I was an old man after watching these videos. 🍺
Honestly you really don't , from an older Man that wishes he was younger , but acts younger until my body keeps reminding me to act my age 😂 enjoy your life whatever your age .😊

@@MalcolmGuitespell I couldn’t agree more. This one and “Rex’s Blues” are two of my favorites, but he wrote so many great ones.

I feel like this is going to Arthur Machen and Imma end up in the moors being unmoored from my being by a satyr.
It is so wonderful, Malcolm, to hear in your voice and see your excitement build as you read us this story. Poor Eustace certainly had himself a fright! Cheers.
As an Oxford resident- the Eagle and Child was a firm favourite watering hole prior to it’s unfortunate closure
What a lovely pipe

Wholesome channel. Could listen to you for hours.
Welcome aboard!
You Sir, are like the Great Uncle I would like to visit once a year I never had as a child in the 80s
Beautifully read. I always felt sorry for the dragon as a child.
Vey nice pipe
I love the readings. please do more.
God bless you for being an oasis in this modern world
Wonderful stuff, truly wonderful.

Great BOSS TR-2 you’ve got back there as well!
Outstanding!
You, sir, need to start doing audio book narrations
Just what I needed
Great - thank you!!
I love these rambling moments with Malcolm 😊
What a wonderful reading. :)
Sitting in the eagle and child where Tolkien and Lewis once sat was surreal, knowing you also
Made the trip makes it even better
The dragon lies within!🐉
Thank you. Can’t wait for the next story.
Hi Malcolm! Thanks for the tip about Carpenter's book. I was delighted to discover I can enjoy that title for free as an Audible member. I hope this applies to UK members as well. Blessings to you and yours.
I wish I was friends with Malcolm. It be cool, I could just walk in and chill. He read me stories, we discover the meaning of life. Great vids
Great way to start my Monday morning! If you haven't considered it before you should now, Audio Readings of Lewis and Tolkien. Be Blessed!
It’s a good day when Mr. Guite uploads again!
Like the Dr Zaius look! Nice storytelling!
Thanks for listening
Greetings from Appalachia. Your videos are always such a gift. I wish I had a dragon's claw pipe to enjoy it with. Maybe there's some dragon's gold somewhere in one of these valleys I could buy one with. Let the search begin!
there is a dragon here in Appalachia! it's called Uktena, and I hope you never run into it.
Thank you so much, it’s very relaxing and heartwarming listening to you read to use..it takes me back to my childhood… what wonderful times as a child I had..!!

Very good Mr. Guite! Voyage of the Dawntrader is my favorite of the series.
Hi dude just wanted to say I find ur videos very entertaining thanks you

Aww that poor dragon. I shall tell my friends how awesome they are because you never now what may happen.
Wonderful
Thanks for having me. I enjoy what you share.
I have been absolutely loving these. Thank you for sharing Malcom!
I look forward to these videos so much. Highlight of my day.
Glad you like them!
The Inklings met at the Eagle and Child. Yes
Great video! Something i never knew until i was older is that the Chronicles of Narnia were a Christian story underneath the surface.
I have no idea how I got here, but you sir are a treasure. Thank you for your content! This is delightful.
Welcome aboard!

Looks like you’ve got a nice Fender Blues Jr down there as well. Same here! Cheers
It's a great amp, especially when you are playing a strat or a tele through it
Just wanted to say that you have inspired me to read the books of Lewis and Tolkien. I did try once to read The Lord Of The Rings and at the time just couldn't get a grasp on it. Thanks for encouraging me to try once more. God Bless
I'm glad!
Thank you for being here❤
Spent many a happy hour in the Eagle & Child about 30 years ago. Also occasionally frequented by the cast and crew of Morse.
These readings are so very wonderful!
Glad you like them!

I really like the meerschaum. Very nice indeed. Oh, and by the way, can I have a pony for Christmas? I've been really good this year......!
Nice vest very reminiscent of Bilbo from Jackson's film, in place of the ring you have a lighter.
Thank you, beautiful, I must get my old childhoodbooks from the attic and replace them downstairs
He needs some rich, mahogany, woodwork, and shelves in there, and a few stuffed deer heads on the wall, and a few swords and maces
I wish I could visit you, sir! It would be a great day for sure!
Thank you 🙏
Love this! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
