The exact location of Stridon in Dalmatia is uncertain. It could be in modern Slovenia or in modern Croatia. It might even have been in Bosnia (although I don’t know if any possible places in Bosnia have been seriously advocated).

Mr. Mercat and I went to watch Max McLean perform Screwtape yesterday. It was wonderful. I downloaded the book to kindle and am rereading it now.
