Wow! I loved this video. I'm also a big fan of Tolkien's books and how inspiring they are for creative souls. It's a pleasure to find people passionate about art and literature and I felt a lot of connection with your videos. Greetings from Guatemala!
Such a lovely video! The details of Lord of the Rings books are fading in my mind - I read them (and the Hobbit) before the movies were released. So it is hard to differentiate book details from movie details. I definitely need to go back for a re-read. Thank you!
Thank you for such an inspiring video on Tolkien’s work! And also mentioning the artist- Alan Lee! Love his work as well! I must admit, my favorite character is Feanor. This character has very similar traits in terms of creativity as a artist. Gandalf is also a close favorite of mine as well. Keep being awesome 🙏
Thank you for your encouraging comment! Feanor is another epic character for sure! And yes, Alan Lee isn’t talked about enough imho. His artwork is so beautiful.
I don’t have a specific biography recommendation! The closest thing to a biography that I’ve read is Tolkien’s Sanctifying Myth. It really digs into Tolkien’s religious background and how that influenced his work! I love that book. It’s by Bradley Birzer.
Thank you for sharing your lovely book collection with us!
You’re welcome! 🙂
This is so beautiful! And what a fantastic Tolkien collection. 🧙♂📚
Thank you!! ❤️✨🧙🏻♂️

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’m currently reading them myself. I always get something new from them with each read!

Hi Elfshine 👋🏼! Have you considered reviewing the book on the art of JRR Tolkien?
I should!! That’s a great idea!
@@wanderingmedievalist Thanks! So looking forward to it!
Do you have a recommendation for a biography of Tolkein?
I don’t have a specific biography recommendation! The closest thing to a biography that I’ve read is Tolkien’s Sanctifying Myth. It really digs into Tolkien’s religious background and how that influenced his work! I love that book. It’s by Bradley Birzer.
Where in Unfinished Tales is the story about how Bilbo became known as a burglar?
It’s in the chapter titled The Quest for Erebor! It’s one of my favorite stories in that book 🙂
@@wanderingmedievalist I'm going to read it today!!! Thank you!
Hi everyone 👋🏼. First!
