Strider sitting in the corner at the Inn was a shock, and I had no more idea who he was than had Frodo. The Mines of Moria had been a mere name; and of Lothlorien, no word had reached my mortal ears till I came there. Far away, I knew there were the Horselords on the confines of an ancient Kingdom of Men, but Fangorn forest was an unforeseen adventure. I had never heard of the house or Eorl, nor of the Stewards of Gondor. Most disquieting of all, Saruman had never been revealed to me, and I was as mystified as Frodo at Gandalf's failure to appear on September 22."--J.R.R. Tolkien, in a letter to W.H. Auden, 7 June, 1955. In uncertain economic times, what better way to invest your money than in items of lasting value you can hold in hand and enjoy. …
