Some of the best insights ever made about J.R.R. Tolkien's invented world or, frankly, about 20th-century literature.... Here is a book of intense wisdom and penetrating thought. Bradley J. Birzer, author of J.R.R. Tolkien's Sanctifying Myth: Understanding Middle earth What is Tom Bombadil doing in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
