Re: tolkien 's "myths transformed"

Having not read the book, my only info on this subject is from the previous posts. But let me see if I get it right before I post my thoughts.

JRRT wanted to have the Sun and Moon created long before the Children arrived, in fact before the Two Trees were grown. He also wanted to be rid of the flat earth concept.

Is this correct?
