The Mind Of One Man
|
JRR Tolkien. 1892-1973 |
This site is not so much about Lord of the Rings, though, of course there will
be many references to the books, and a few select photographs from the films, but more about its creator and the influences
that shaped the creation of Middle-Earth. Sam is fortunate enough to come from the same city, Birmingham, in England, as Tolkien
spent his early years, and has a familiarity with the same areas Tolkien knew. The idea grew from a more practical stand point
than creating yet another standard J.R.R.Tolkien /Lord of the Rings website( The last thing the world needs is another
one of those). Having discovered a recording, on the net, of a 1971 interview with the BBC, we decided to give it it's own
home, rather adding to the already burgeoning mega-byte of two other sites that we have, namely The Prospect Before Us and
Walk AWhile.
This site will give us the chance to show, most especially, the places that Tolkien
used as the basis for, the Old Forest, Hobbiton, and to show you some Tolkien family photgraphs as well.....It's yet another
labour of love, so please bear with us...Time to go, we think......
