About this title

Synopsis

A very readable companion, this Brief Guide includes everything J.R.R. Tolkien: a brief biography, a critical view of Tolkien and what the literati think of him, his profession as a linguist, how "Beowulf" and other works influenced him, how he invented the nomenclatures and languages for Middle-earth, and much more.
