What Tolkien understood about fantasy, reality, and the human soul
Wonderful write-up! Thank you.
Thanks for reading Rod!
Read The Name of the Wind.
I love that essay by Tolkien. It brings to me a sense of longing and joy.
I think Tolkein is a master of lore but there are authors emerging with truly fantastic worlds like Samantha Shannon and Leigh Bardugo.
