Tolkien: A Look Behind The Lord of the Rings

By Lin Carter


1969, Ballantine Books, First Printing


"For as long as man has had an imagination he has woven heroic images to fascinate, impress, terrify, enthrall, enchant: when the world was very young, the stories were "real"—as real as the lamps that lit the night in the vast, fixed globe above a flat world, as real as the demons, gods, fairies, giants and other powers that filled the known universe.


Lin Carter's book is an enchanted tour of the heroic sagas, the epic myths, the great tales that lived through time to become a source and inspiration to our own century's most magnificent teller of tales—J. R. R. Tolkien."


All pages in unmarked condition. Minor wear to cover, old 2 inch crease to lower front corner of front cover. Remainder markings on lower fore edge, two small "2"s printed on top edge.
