Did Tolkien mean to make this relation?
I've been reading The Book of the Lost Tales I, and there is a place called Tol Eressëa or the Lonely Isle. In his commentary, Christopher Tolkien says that his father is referring to England. Why is that? I mean, is he trying to tie our world into his?
Sorry if I don't make any sense... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]
