Tolkien&#146;s &#147;The Lord of the Rings&#148; was rooted in the power of the word. Or rather, in the tens of thousands of words that made up his 1937 fantasy &#147;The Hobbit&#148; and the subsequent expansion of that tale into the &#147;Rings&#148; epic.  Then came director Peter Jackson&#146;s film adaptations, and what had been the province of written language was transformed, translated and transmuted into visual imagery, revealing Tolkien&#146;s universe to a audiences who might be disinclined to wade through the dense pages of his very large novels.
