FROM SARAH:

This collection of essays from Tolkien is heady and wonderful! My oldest daughter wrote her college thesis on it. For anyone who likes to think about the soul-enriching powers of stories.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

J.R.R. Tolkien's "On Fairy-stories" is his most-studied and most-quoted essay, an exemplary personal statement of his views on the role of imagination in literature, and an intellectual tour de force vital for understanding Tolkien's achievement in the writing of The Lord of the Rings.
