In general, I mistrust wiki (any wiki) as a 'source' for anything to do with Tolkien. There's a tendency to make things up! I've just looked up 'Enedwaith' in the Hammond-Scull; in addition to... |

I don't think Tolkien had a real-world template in mind when he came up with the Rohirrim. Or at least, not any one race or nation. In a letter he mentions 'Homeric horsemen', for example. As for... |

Anke
I shan't get into the question of the eyes - oh, all right then, I will! Obviously closed. :) I too like Anke's work. I find her palette is very much like that of Alan Lee; very subtle: though her... |

Timing.
Gandalf explained to the Three Hunters that Saruman had arrived too late to do anything to help his messengers; and he himself arrived in the vicinity only after Saruman had returned to Isengard. As... |

Yes. Buy a copy of the 4-LP set, like the rest of us had to do, back in the 70s. :D (the link doesn't work for me, either). My commiserations. As devem says, it's a wonderful reading. |

Has anyone read The Road Goes Ever On?
- this book is interesting for several reasons - first, it's the last book published by Tolkien in his lifetime. It's also (mainly) a book of sheet-music, being musical settings to some of Tolkien's... |

The Military uses of the Palantiri
Apropos nothing much: In 1995, Alex Lewis read a paper at a Tolkien Society Seminar, called 'The Palantiri: A Study'. Part of this paper was taken up with the possible use of the Palantiri as a sort... |

Tolkien Portraits
Actually, there's quite a bit in Kocher's book that's still relevant. His views on Sauron and the Nature of Evil have never been bettered, in my opinion. Same goes for the part about Aragorn. ... |

Tolkien portraits
Looking at the link which the OP gives to the National Gallery, I see they've dated the colour picture of Tolkien as September 1961. I think that's a mistake on their part. Chandler visited the... |

The picture was taken in Branksome Chine, not far from the Tolkiens' bungalow in Lakeside Road, Bournemouth, on 25th May 1971. It was for an article on Tolkien's 80th birthday, and was published in... |
