While JRR Tolkien's work was impeccable, his son's commentary was annoying. Worse, while discussing historical mythology, he mentions his father's Lord of the Rings stories and characters. That undermined the legitimacy of JRR Tolkien's original work.
Regardless, I loved what the Mr. Tolkien did for this tale... more

| 2. Tales from the Perilous Realm |
|
By: J.R.R. Tolkien
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
November 17, 2008
There is a passage in one of the stories collected here that accurately sums up the content of the book itself. In "Leaf By Niggle," Tolkien describes a painting that the artist Niggle has been working on: "It had begun with a leaf caught in the wind, and it became a tree; and the tree grew, sending out innumerable branches, and thrusting out the most fantastic roots...Niggle lost interest in his other... more

| 3. The J. R. R. Tolkien Collection (BBC Dramatization) | 
|
By: J. R. R. Tolkien, Brian Sibley
Publisher: BBC Audiobooks America
September 08, 2009
There have been innumerable depictions of JRR Tolkien's works in various media, but I feel that few would have met with the Professor's approval. The JRR Tolkien Collection created by BBC Radio is a rare exception. The radio dramatizations of The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and the shorter works (Farmer Giles of Ham, Leaf by Niggle, Smith of Wootton Major,and The Adventures of Tom Bombadil) collected... more

| 6. The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien | 
|
By: J. R. R. Tolkien, Humphrey Carpenter
Publisher: Mariner Books
2000-06
This book is a magnificent collection of the Master's own thoughts and words. It gives a fascinating insight into Tolkien's personal life, as well additional details of middle earth that are not in the books. It shows clearly how Tolkien could hammer out a very long and involved letter with ease. It captures how the written word was truly his medium. I can't imagine his son in a fox hole in the midst... more

| 10. The Children of Hurin |
|
By: J.R.R. Tolkien
Publisher: Mariner Books
October 14, 2008
This is a very, very dark epic, not like The Lord of the Rings at all. Nonetheless, if you like Tolkien's other works, The Children of Hurin is worth a try. It explores the earlier ages of Middle Earth, particularly the story of Turin as described in The Silmarillion.
The story emphasizes key Tolkien themes like honor, oaths, tragedy - and, of course, dragons. Hurin, a noble king, is... more
