i have a mythology book, and in the norse section it has the elves and dwarves, which is where tolkien got his elves and dwarves from, and a page on rings of power- which kinda makes it obvious where lotr comes from
i also once found a map of the norse realms, and midgard, or middle earth, was our earth
i think it was mostly norse, with a bunch of other stuff thrown in
