charming book of memory

This little gem was compiled by John and Priscilla Tolkien, two of J.R.R.'s children. It contains family photos and memories of the life of this English family. There's really nothing else like it in the Tolkien literature. Provides an intimate glimpse of their home and family life together.

This hobbit feels incredible joy. . .

. . .when paging through this delightful book. The Master, JRR Tolkien, obviously shared the hobbitish characteristic of great love for family. It appears that his children shared this love as well. In this wonderful book, family photos and stories are presented with text provided by the Master's youngest child (and only daughter) Priscilla.Many thanks to Priscilla for allowing the rest of us to share in the joy of your family.

Beautiful. Just Beautiful.

Heartwarming and joyful, this book is a precious gift. It provides a loving look into the heart, the life, and the love of the Master -- JRR Tolkien.Many thanks to the Tolkien children for the labor of love.
