Oh how interesting! Happy to talk any time! βΊοΈ
Very interesting thoughts! I am a freelance editor of science books and have been described as an βunder editorβ as I normally strive to preserve the authorβs voice while ensuring the writing is technically correct. It can be a hard balance to achieve!
The latest edition of Amon Hen is landing in Tolkien Society members' inboxes and mailboxes!
Published every 2 months since 1972, Amon Hen includes #Tolkien news, reviews, articles, quizzes, artwork and more. You can get Amon Hen by becoming a member at www.tolkiensociety.org/join #BookSky

Oh absolutely! In some ways Jacksonβs films are like a love letter to Bakshiβs movie. Itβs definitely weird at times but I still think itβs very impressive!
I love this movie! And itβs so cool to see how much it inspired PJβs trilogy. The prologue and the hobbits hiding from the black rider in particular!
Yes I am in the U.K. and the postage is steep⦠My husband got it for me for Christmas a couple years ago
Absolutely. But it breaks my heart when I read Morgothβs Ring and he starts throwing out the beautiful myths of the creation of the sun and moon and the flat earth because he canβt make it consistent with the real worldβ¦
Itβs either a work or art or an illegible scrawl π
It is just astonishing when you realise the depth of Tolkienβs creation!
Itβs from The Art of the Manuscript catalogue from the Marquette exhibition π

The amount of work that Tolkien put into the timelines and chronologies for The Lord of the Rings is breathtaking. I think one of the reasons we love this work so much is because the care and love of the author shines through with every word.
