Description

Tolkien fans around the world have for many years been enthralled with “The Hobbit,” “The Lord of the Rings,” “The Silmarillion” & all the works of background reading about Middle-earth. There have been quite a few scholarly books published about Tolkien & his ‘sub-creation’. But this is the first book written by & published for Tolkien’s fans. This guide compiles essays, along with material never seen before. You’ll find spirited discussion on the “Lord of the Rings” movies (along with a lengthy report from the set), a defense of fantasy, the nature of good & evil, fate & free will, cultural norms, the northern myths & literature that inspired Tolkien, how Tolkien’s fiction has affected the lives of so many, & beautiful illustrations representing fan art.
