Greetings — Anwyn here.
Green Books brings you a spooky bag of treats (or tricks!) for the end of October!
• Quickbeam goes Out on a Limb and practically down on his knees begging Peter Jackson not to make him wait any longer for The Two Towers!
• Anwyn’s Counterpoint reviews a new book, Tolkien’s Sanctifying Myth, and interviews its author, Dr. Brad Birzer. The book is a terrific exploration of how Tolkien’s Catholicism affected the writing of The Lord of the Rings, and Dr. Birzer has some pithy comments on Tolkien’s world view.
• Turgon shows us two new gems on his Bookshelf, including Bilbo’s Last Song and the 2003 Ted Nasmith Tolkien Calendar.
• Turgon also brings us a Special Guest item featuring a Q&A with noted Tolkien scholar Verlyn Flieger, author of Splintered Light: Logos and Language in Tolkien’s World.
• Moon Letters offers many new and splendid items of fan poetry and creative writing.
• Questions & Answers will return with all-new items in November. Meanwhile, enjoy our extensive archives and check into our Most Frequently Asked Questions!
As always, it is an honor for the Green Books staff to present our work to you. Enjoy, and Happy Halloween!
