I’ve loved JRRT since I discovered him in Jr. High. I remember crying in college when he died. I’d love to get this book! (I’d go nicely with my copy of his translation of “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.”)
When I was young I read all of Tolkien’s books, I would love to get my daughter into these books she loves Lord of the Rings.
