That drawing and the Rory Bory Aylis part of the story makes me think that Tolkien might have seen the real northern lights.
However, I wasn't aware that one could see them in England. I've seen them, both coloured and white, on a summer night and in the "the days between the years" but that was considerably farther north than I am now. Does anyone know if the northern lights can be seen in England? Tolkien was quite familiar with the night sky and the constellations.
