<p>Who would you cast to play you in the movie of your life? Mostly that's a fun game, but for Carolyn Weber it became a reality. Many people who come to Oxford to study leave changed by the experience. Carolyn Weber tells Julia Golding about her time in the city and how it inspired her to write her book Surprised by Oxford, a nod to CS Lewis' book Surprised by Joy. Carolyn goes on to tell us about the film that has been made of the story in a fortuitous gap in COVID rules and last month received its premiere. Both having studied with small children, Julia and Carolyn end by deciding which fantasy world is best for parents.</p> <p>Visit https://oxfordcentreforfantasy.org for more information.</p>
