For the true lover of Fairy Tale.
This edition is for those who truly love Fairy Tale. It is amazing to witness first hand Tolkien's breathtaking ability to weave the tales of Faerie. Any reader who enjoyed The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, or The Silmarillion will be greatly pleased.

Weight Loss Confidential: How Teens Lose Weight and Keep It Off
I bought this book because my granddaughter is becoming overweight and I want to help her and my daughter to work on this problem. I am an RN and yet the information in this book was priceless because despite what I know and understand medically, the information on what works for the teens by teens could not be learned in nursing school. I have completed the book and have sent it on to Arizona ...

Great Deal!
The Editorial Review does not say much about the item, only that millions of readers enjoyed the great story the Lord of the Rings and "millions of filmgoers have embraced the blockbuster motion picture trilogy." But we all know that already. So, I decided to describe each of the items in detail. Bookend sculptures are 6.5" H x 6" W x 5.25" D (One bookend) and weight around 8 lbs. The quality ...

`Great was the power of Melko for ill,' said Eriol,
`if he could indeed destroy with his cunning the happiness and glory of the Gods and Elves...' When the hateful god Melko marred the world, the Valar hid within the blessed land of Valinor, abandoning the Elves and Men of Middle Earth to slavery under his terrible rule. This was the time of great heroes who challenged Melko's impossible might. Beren and Lúthien entered Melko's hall to pluck ...

Perfect companion work to his writing
While not close to being a world renowned visual artist in comparison to his writing, having Tolkien's honest, raw artwork celebrated in this book does the man good justice. Not only does this book cover Tolkien's famed cover illustrations for his early prints of The Hobbit, etc, it also showcases early work of his as a child and in-between. It's beautiful insight into his creative well. I ...

Overview of The History of Middle-earth Series
Collections of an author's work are often confusing, particularly when what the author has created is as complex as Tolkien's writings. Here's an overview of the twelve-volume History of Middle-earth, which was edited by his son Christopher Tolkien. Hopefully, it will help you select which book or books to buy. Keep something in mind. In the U.S. Houghton Mifflin publishes Tolkien's ...

Brilliant
I am so glad these recordings were made by Tolkien, and that they were preserved and released. i had heard some of these on an old record i borrowed from a library once a few years back, and only recently was made aware that it finally came out on cd. Its really a brilliant and wonderful little collection. Tolkien's voice and his singing really incredible. A personal favorite is Sam's song of the ...

Essential New Information!
This new extended edition, edited by the estimable Verlyn Flieger, is a must-have for students and admirers of Tolkien. Of course, most of you will already have Smith of Wootton Major on your bookshelves, either in its own volume or in one of the several collections in which it has been reprinted -- so why get another copy? Because Verlyn Flieger has included several additional (and essential) ...

found it...I think!
I was so sad to see that this book was out of print. I really wanted to read it! But, I think I've found it! It's in a book called "The Tolkien Reader". (here on Amazon they also call it "A Tolkien Reader") The book includes "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil", "Farmer Giles of Ham" and "On Fairy Stories". Enjoy! : )

Fin Hengeste / elne unflitme aththum benemde
For all of you Middle Earth fans, the appendices in "The Lord of the Rings" were just games. This is the real thing. Tolkien was a heavyweight scholar before he published a word of fiction. In his admittedly narrow academic circle, he was a famous man before ever there was a Hobbit. This book is based on lectures delivered by Tolkien over a period of years. Tolkien being Tolkien, he never ...

Every garden needs a girabbit ..
This delightful little story was written and illustrated by Professor Tolkien for his own children when they were young. Meet Mr Bliss, with his immensely tall hats, his customised house and most importantly the girabbit. Mr Bliss decides to buy a motor car and that is when his adventures really begin. Some of Mr Bliss's adventures are entirely attributable to his driving, but who could ...

Early Notes for The Silmarillion, plus MAPS! Better than Vol III
`The Shaping of Middle-Earth' is the fourth volume of Christopher Tolkien's exegesis of his father, J.R.R. Tolkien's unpublished writings which were done before, during, and after the writing of `The Hobbit' and `The Lord of the Rings'. It is important to realize that beginning with Volume III, `The Lays of Beleriand', these volumes are prepared according to the date on which the elder Tolkien ...

A Broad Range of Tolkien
This box set contains four volumes which seem somewhat oddly assorted. The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales are compilations published after Tolkien's death by his son and literary executor Christopher Tolkien. They primarily deal with the early history of Middle earth. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is Tolkien's translation of a long medieval poem, while The Tolkien Reader is a compilation ...

This is a story that grows with the reader.
In a mythical or maybe just forgotten time, many creatures lived in places like the Shire, home to Bilbo Baggins, Hobbit. Hobbits are comfort loving creatures with no real sense for adventure. A knock on the door and Bilbo's life is about to change. Calling this book children's book is like calling "Alice in Wonderland" [see "The Annotated Alice"] a children's book. Yes children can read this ...

The Making of a Masterpiece, Volume II
Return to Bag End is the second part of John D. Rateliff's History of the Hobbit. It begins with page 469 and contains the Index for both volumes, so its important to start with Volume I, Mr. Baggins. Return to Bag End begins with the thirteen dwarves and their hobbit companion's arrival at The Lonely Mountain. Rateliff has identified five phases in the writing of The Hobbit, and this volume ...

How Mr. Baggins Got His Groove Back
I have to admit that on my first glance at this, I was expecting disappointment - because, while it followed the format of Christopher Tolkien's ten-volume "History of Middle Earth," it was not BY that esteemed Professor of Anglo-Saxon, and therefore could not be as good. Believe me, I got over it quickly! Rateliff, who repeatedly mentions his debt to the younger Tolkiens, as well as to ...
