Welcome to Litsy!

A fascinating look at Tolkien's legendarium from his internal mythology to the sources and influences that helped to shape it. I would have loved a bit more depth in both areas and a little less basic Middle-earth detail but that's only because I'm already so familiar with it. As ever it had only taken one thing to kick my Tolkien love bank into high gear

This made me chuckle 😆

I should be cleaning but I'm not. Instead (and instead of actually reading this book) I've been contemplating the tea preferences of Middle-earth. This is a floral green tea which speaks of Rivendell to me. The Jaffa Cakes can only be Hobbiton though!
