LETTERS OF JRR TOLKIEN (REVISED) (HB)

A comprehensive collection of letters spanning the adult life (1914-1973) of one of the world's most famous storytellers. They also shed much light on his creative genius and grand design for the creation of a whole new world - Middle-earth. In this revised and expanded edition, it has been possible to go back to the editors’ original typescripts and notes, restoring more than 150 letters that were excised purely to achieve what was then deemed a ‘publishable length’, and present the book as originally intended.
