A Brief Guide to J.R.R. Tolkien: The Unauthorized Guide to the Author of the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings (Large Print 16pt)

This title offers a very readable overview of Tolkien and his work, incorporating a brief biography, an examination of the books and a look at the process of filming his work, including ''''The Hobbit'''' and ''''The Lord of the Rings saga''''. It explores how Tolkien's background as a medievalist and linguist informed the languages of Middle - earth, the influence of his Catholicism and Tolkien's legacy in fantasy. This is a timely book to coincide with the first of Peter Jackson's two keenly awaited Hobbit films.
