****Meditations on Middle Earth*

Reviewed November 21, 2001.
St. Martin’s Press, 2001. 235 pages.

This book is a labor of love from a collection of fantasy writers--a series of essays on The Lord of the Rings, by J. R. R. Tolkien. Those who love Middle Earth (You know who you are!) will thoroughly enjoy this book.

The different authors cover many different aspects of Tolkien’s books, things like why they are Truly Great, how they set the author on the path of writing fantasy, and how they changed the world. Absolutely delightful for anyone who loves Tolkien’s works.
