J. R. R. Tolkien, Scholar and Storyteller: Essays in Memorium

"This is a book to read and savor. Tolkien emerges as a Christian; a learned linguist of Old Celtic, Old Welsh, Old Norse, Old French, Greek, Latin, et al.; an artist and storyteller; a humanitarian and family man; and 'the best and worst talker in Oxford'—best for penetration, worst for indistinct pronunciation,"—Birmingham News. 325 pages, softcover.
