Well said, Esty! I think that for Tolkien, writing about Middle-earth was simply an organic process. We've heard what he has said about how he felt he was always 'discovering' the place and trying to write down 'what really happened'. Well, this is why there are fuzzy edges. He didn't have a map and a bestiary, nor did he have a A-Z or a Companion & Guide, he only had his own imagination to work with. In many ways, maybe we know more about Middle-earth than Tolkien did?
