Tolkien published <i>The Hobbit</i> in 1937 and <i>The Lord of the Rings</i> in 1954-5.

From sweeping themes as profound as Elvish immortality and reincarnation, and the Powers of the Valar, to the more earth-bound subjects of the lands and beasts of Númenor, the geography of the Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor, and even who had beards!</p><p>This new collection, which has been edited by Carl F. Hostetter, one of the world's leading Tolkien experts, is a veritable treasure-trove offering readers a chance to peer over Professor Tolkien's shoulder at the very moment of discovery: and on every page, Middle-earth is once again brought to extraordinary life.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>J.R.R.
