if you want to really understand Tolkiens world,then read the book he based his books on...read Snorra-Edda it´s a very old and famous Icelandic book, that Tolkien knew by heart, about the nordic belief....Gandalf was a dwarf. Also the Elvish writings, you can see a very similar writing in Snorra-Edda.
