Clive Staples Lewis and John Ronald Reuel Tolkien met for the first time. It was the start to a 40+ year friendship that would span three worlds: Narnia, Middle Earth, and this world (the reality of WW1 and WW2 as the backdrop). There, of course, would be hard times during the decades of their friendship, but there would also be times of encouragement that would craft a bond too deep to be broken.
It's now officially known as International Inklings Day!
The celebrations and more be found here.
