There and back again : J.R.R. Tolkien and the origins of The hobbit

Atherton, Mark2014
Books, Manuscripts
For all Tolkien's global fame, the sources of the myth-maker's own myth-making have been neglected. Mark Atherton explores the chief influence on Tolkien's work, including his boyhood in the Midlands, the landscapes and seascapes which shaped his mythologies, his experiences in World War I, and his interest in Scandinavian myth.
