Thank you Estelyn and Hilde for your welcome. In reply to your questions; I found out about ME over 20 years ago (a friend of mine read The Hobbit and we were both into Led Zep) but I wasn't a "reader" back then. Fast forward to 2000, I have two young daughters who love Harry Potter, we've finished the books and what do we do now? A friend insisted that if we love HP we would love LOTR even more. needless to say, she was right. My husband and I read The Hobbit and the three books of LOTR out loud to the girls within the space of a year. I've since read The Silmarillion to them and on my own the Unfinished Tales, the Lost
Tales (book one) and Tolkien-Author Of The Century. I'm hooked!
