Its Not Middle Earth, But Its Still Tolkien At His Finest
There are no hobbits, elves, orcs, or ents in Farmer Giles of Ham, but this short tale is a worthy addition to the rest of J.R.R. Tolkien's books. Farmer Giles is a stout, not very brave fellow who lives quietly in the Middle Kingdom, a land which seems to be located somewhere in the middle of the modern land of England. One day Giles' dog Garm stumbles across a giant, Giles gives the giant a ...

The Lord of the Rings - A readers companion
The Lord of the Rings - A Readers Companion I remember when I was at college, struggling to read Ulysses by James Joyce. I had a book of annotations to my side and was struggling to understand chapter 3 of Stephen Dedalus's adventures on the Sandymount Strand in Eire This book is rather like that book, but I think its more of a joy to read. Although this book is not for a person who has ...

Exquisite, Good Content & Editing, Worth Owning
This book features many of Tolkien's ink, watercolor, pencil, and colored pencil works. The detailed descriptions of each drawing include history, explanations, and dates. Quite a few maps are included, as well as illustrations for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. It is wonderful to see how Tolkien imagined Middle Earth and its inhabitants. The colors he used are very earthy and lovely. ...

The Lord of the Rings 1954-2004: Scholarship in Honor of Richard E. Blackwelder

Marquette University Press, 2006

Fine collection at very reasonable price!
Dick Blackwelder (1909-2001) was an entomologist and zoologist, whose 1978 encounter with Tolkien's writings led to his amassing a huge collection of secondary materials on Tolkien and the compilation of A Tolkien Thesaurus (1990). Since Marquette already owned most of the manuscripts for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Blackwelder's bequest enhanced the Wisconsin university's already ...

J.R.R. Tolkien Companion and Guide (Two Volume Box Set)

Absolutely indispensable - Hammond and Scull have done it again!
In the Preface to their long-awaited J.R.R. Tolkien Companion and Guide, Hammond and Scull write that the book "has been designed to serve as a reference of (at least) first resort", but I would daresay that in a great many cases, theirs will be not only the first but the *only* reference work needed. It's *that* exhaustive! The first volume is mainly a chronology of Tolkien's life, with ...

Amazing work
The Reader's Guide is one of the most impressive books about Tolkien and Tolkien's creation ever made. Actually, it is a vast encyclopedia, but instead of Frodo, Feanor or the Valar you can find in this book all of Tolkien and more important: Tolkien's sources. in this hefty volume (more than 1100 pages!) you can find extensive entries about interesting people in Tolkien's life like George ...

This is not a biography
If you are looking or a biography, you will not find it here. This volume is not like the wonderful biography by Carpenter. It is not coherent book with beginning, middle and summary. It is a list, tremendous, important and very useful list. Especially for Tolkien scholars or very highly educated enthusiastic. It is one of a kind chronology; I really think that Tolkien is the only writer that ...
