We'll not take much space to describe this epic. Fantasy novel? Mythology? Neither does justice to Tolkien's creation. It is simply the sweetest, most intense, most obsessively engaging reading experience many have ever had. C.S. Lewis was on the mark in his description, 'No imaginary world has been projected which is at once so multifarious and so true . . . Here are beauties that pierce like swords or burn like cold iron.' Three volumes, total 1215 pp.
