Formerly a head writer of television's "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and an editorial director of HarperCollins, David Colbert is also the author of the Eyewitness history series. A graduate of Brown University, he studied anthropology and mythology and has spent much of his life in libraries.
For Tolkien fans comes The Magical Worlds of the Lord of the Rings: The Amazing Myths, Legends, and Facts Behind the Masterpiece, by David Colbert. This illustrated unauthorized tie-in will mostly appeal to Tolkien neophytes with its short chapters headed by such questions as "Why Is Frodo the Ring-bearer?" and "Was Gollum Ever Good?"
