The German Tolkien Seminar will be held in Jena from April 25 - 27 this year.
The Hobbit will be the topic of lectures from various international speakers, covering a great variety of aspects. Over half of the lectures will be in English, and the seminar itself does not cost anything, so if any of you are interested in coming, please check out the
German Tolkien Society page for the programme.
Anke Eismann has again provided the illustration for the invitation;
here it is. (Sorry, the file was too large to upload directly.)
(And yes, some of you may recognize the name of one or more of the speakers...)
