Book Reviews of Tolkien in the Land of Heroes : Discovering the Human Spirit
Book Review: A fine study of myth in Tolkien
Summary: 5 Stars
Not written in dissertationese, as the author's "One Ring to Rule Them All" is, but in very colloquial English. Petty even apologizes for considering LotR alone without the context of the drafts, but there's no need to do that: it's a clear, straightforward, and insightful study of considerable quality.
