From the blurb: Tolkien’s Rings is a literary detective work about J. R. R. Tolkien’s inspiration and sources. It shows how The Lord of the Rings is the result of an ancient story-telling tradition that dates back to the dawn of western culture; and how by drawing upon the world’s primary myths and legends, JRR Tolkien created his own mythology for the twentieth century’.

Beautifully Illustrated  throughout by acclaimed artist Alan Lee (creator of the illustrated Lord of the Rings), Tolkien’s Rings is an extraordinary journey through the most magical and potent stories.
