Magical Worlds of Lord of the Rings, The: The Amazing Myths, Legends, and Facts Behind the Masterpiece

"J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasies The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit have enthralled readers for more than half a century. The realm of Middle-earth is one of the most fully realized worlds in literature, yet the remarkable mythology upon which Tolkien founded it is still a mystery to most readers. By bringing to light the legends that influenced J.R.R. Tolkien, David Colbert answers readers' large range of questions about Middle-earth: Why do Hobbits live in holes? When in the world is Middle-earth? Why are Tolkien's elves tall? Besides Merlin, who and what inspired Gandalf? What character was based on Tolkien's wife? What nightmare was the key to Tolkien's mythology? Can Gandalf really die? What does Tolkien like best about Frodo? Which monster from The Lord of the Rings attacked Tolkien in real life? From the Finnish saga Kalevala and the events in Beowulf to Arthurian mythology, Shakespeare, and even World War II, this indispensible guide provides insights not only into literature's most beloved fantasy but also into the man who brought it to life. This book was not authorized, prepared, approved, licensed, or endorsed by the estate of J.R.R. Tolkien, New Line Cinema, Warner Bros., or any other individual or entity associated with The Lord of the Rings book or movie."
