‘Exploring the wonders and worlds of J.R.R.Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings’.
I have a confession.
I bought this cheap in a second-hand bookshop and I don’t think I’ve opened it since.

The Lord of the Rings : A Reader’s Companion
Filed under : BOOKS CONCERNING TOLKIEN > Literary Studies
A superb in depth companion to The Lord of the Rings - I think this was originally intended to be published as an ‘annotated’ Lord of the Rings with all the entries as footnotes to the published text, but it ended up as a stand alone book. And a very fine one at that.

The Song of Middle-earth
Filed under : BOOKS CONCERNING TOLKIEN > Literary Studies
Study of Tolkien’s works. I have a feeling that the author, David Harvey, may have been a contestant on the BBC’s ‘Mastermind’ quiz show, answering questions about Tolkien. There’s a chance he may have been the winner, too.

Tree by Tolkien (Village Press)
Filed under : BOOKS CONCERNING TOLKIEN > Literary Studies
Little paperback study by Colin Wilson. I have a feeling that there was some problem with the title of this book - that Tolkien felt it was too similar to ‘Tree and leaf’. Or something.

The Road To Middle-Earth
Filed under : BOOKS CONCERNING TOLKIEN > Literary Studies
Brilliant study of Tolkien’s work by Tom Shippey.
[From Wikipedia] Shippey’s work and life cross paths in many ways with that of Tolkien; like Tolkien, he attended King Edward’s School, Birmingham in Birmingham and taught Old English at Oxford University. He occupied Tolkien’s former chair at the University of Leeds.
