Greetings – Have we got some new Green Books for June!
• Anwyn has a great new Counterpoint about MAGIC, with emphasis on the ‘gift of Art.’
• Check out Turgon’s Bookshelf for a publicity interview with Tom Shippey, author of “J.R.R. Tolkien, Author of the Century.
• And a very nice surprise: new Tributes from authors Harry Turtledove and Lisa Goldstein, part of the forthcoming anthology, Meditations on Middle-earth, edited by Karen Haber (St. Martin’s Press, Nov. 2001).
• Our Special Guest takes a spin on Tolkien’s most mysterious character: “Who is Tom Bombadil?”
• Enjoy the crazy comedic compendium of Tookish’s Ticklers.
• The ever-popular Q&A has 16 new articles, including:
- Does the Shire have its own ‘power?’
- Was Gandalf afraid of Beorn?
- Is there a background story on the Arkenstone?
- Are there two Minas Tiriths?
- Why even go to war against Sauron?
- How do magic Rings make one ‘fade?’
• Moon Letters needs new submissions… so ink up your quills and get to writing!
• There are new updates in red to previous Q&A.
And I have a very special surprise later this month. Here’s a hint: working as a soldier of Gondor is harder than it seems! Stay tuned…
Much too hasty,
Quickbeam
