Reading LOTR for the first time in a long time and I enjoyed this bluntness. Nice that Tolkien draws on fairy folklore in this scene with the nighttime encounter and singing, while the rudeness reverses a trope by having the elves very much not wanting to lead the hobbits away.

Kleiner Blick über den Tellerrand. Auch wenn wir mit unseren Büchern nicht dabei sind, sehr zu empfehlen. Im Prinzip die zentrale Veranstaltung für Tolkien-Fans in Europa. #sfcd

People took all the wrong lessons from Tolkien (fantasy race determinism, long-prophesied return of the king, lore coming out your ears) and none of the right ones (subversive heroes who succeed through failure, overwhelming grief at the passing of an enchanted world).

This is a fantastic early 70s psych-prog album and also featured some great alternative covers! On the left is the original Swedish edition with art by Peter Lindholm. On the right is the 1977 rerelease with Rodney Matthews' painting "A View Over Isengard."

Some Sunday weirdness for you: Bo Hansson's Music Inspired by The Lord of the Rings featuring a surreal cover. On the top right, is this actually Sauron? And has the scholarly paper on Tolkien and psychedelia been written yet? 😅

Christopher Tolkien's desire to find the right editorial formula goes back to the mid-1970s, when he envisaged the work ahead of him. Lucas Zembrzuski has just published an article showing the role of ‘unfinished tales’. Christopher Tolkien tries out diverses ways of presenting his father's

Tolkien's funniest confession is surely when he admits in 'On Fairy-Stories' that, as a child, he used to skip over any poetry he encountered in a story. Hmmmm... 😂

The fourth piece is not only legible as a Tolkien illustration, it rules. The first three, what is going on? Why do they look like that? How are they related to the text? It's giving Glass Harmonica. Fantastic, no notes.
