Media reviews
One marvels anew at the depth, breadth, and persistence of J.R.R. Tolkien’s labor. No one sympathetic to his aims, the invention of a secondary universe, will want to miss this chance to be present at the creation.”
Publishers Weekly
"An opportunity to view the origins of one of the twentieth century's most popular and substantive works of fiction." --Hartford Courant
