Yes BB and in the others he is posing with books... in a study... outrageous.... I am surprised he hasn't gone the whol hog and got a pipe..

I think he looks more like his father than he did in the "young" photos in the HC biography. And if you look at the Tolkien in Oxford pic.. a similar mannerism. But as with most people you can see both parents if you look hard enough..

His speaking voice is a lot clearer than his father's which is very fast and soft. Christopher sounds very patrician in his recordings.
