LETTERS OF JRR TOLKIEN (PB)

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. This collection will appeal not only to the legions of Tolkien fans, but will entertain anyone who appreciates the art of letter-writing, of which he was a master.
