Question

Quote:
No you don't. As Aiwendil has quite rightly pointed out, the old BolT stories are ancient history in terms of the development of the Legendarium and especially LotR.
oh, ok. Sorry! I know I sound like I don't know very much about it, but I've only read LotR and The Hobbit, and am about to start the Silm. SO I just figured BolT was supposed to be fact. So, did Tolkien mean for it to be more legend than fact? (by fact, I mean as in what really happened in ME) And what exactly do you mean by the Legendarium? Please help me out a bit!
