I agree. I`ve just recently read Tolkien`s famous essay "On Fairy-Stories" and found it quite an eye-opener. (It`s in "Tree and Leaf",Harper Collins, London)

Thanks for all the advice given above, I can also use it, since I`ve only read the Hobbit, LotR and am just now nearly through the Silmarillion.
