Description

The Street to Middle-earth, Ben Shippey’s traditional work, now modified in book, examines J.R.R. Tolkien’s imagination and the sourced elements of his inspiration. Shippey demonstrates at length how Tolkien’s skilled history led him to create The Hobbit and how he produced a classic appeal for an incredible number of visitors. Analyzing the building blocks of Tolkien’s most widely used work, God The Father of the Rings, Shippey also covers the share of The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales to Tolkien’s excellent fantasy period, demonstrating how Tolkien’s more “difficult” publications could be completely valued.
