Overview
The Road to Middle-earth, Tom Shippeyās classic work, now revised in paperback, explores J.R.R. Tolkienās creativity and the sources of his inspiration. Shippey shows in detail how Tolkienās professional background led him to write The Hobbit and how he created a timeless charm for millions of readers. Examining the foundation of Tolkienās most popular work, The Lord of the Rings, Shippey also discusses the contribution of The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales to Tolkienās great myth cycle, showing how Tolkienās more ādifficultā books can be fully appreciated. He goes on to examine the remarkable twelve-volume History of Middle-earth, written by Tolkienās son and literary heir Christopher Tolkien, which traces the creative and technical processes by which Middle-earth evolved.
