This LOTR Reading Celebration promises to be the best one yet. We’ve got a FANTASTIC LINEUP of Presenters for our Workshops and Keynote Lecture!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n
We’ve got Tom Shippey coming and Joseph Pearce as well. They are incredible Tolkien Scholars. Shippey is the foremost Tolkien scholar around these days.<\/p>\n
Our Celebration is an inter-generational event with people ranging from college students and faculty, to high school and elementary children, to other interested adults, local authors, actors, etc…, all from our Northeast Ohio area.<\/p>\n
