Meditations on Middle-Earth by Karen Haber
5.0
Thought I had already read this - had it for a long time, but looking it over discovered I hadn't.
These are essays written by authors/illustrators for whom the discovery and reading of Lord of the Rings changed their lives and opened up new worlds to them. Edith Friesner's essay was a wonderful read - I laughed most of the way through it. Raymond Feist's was also quite good. I enjoyed the interview with the Hildebrandt brothers on their experience and their calendars. Ursula Le Guin's was an interesting essay, speaking of Tolkien's rhythm of language. There were many good stories and ideas on Tolkien by top ranked authors - many of whom I had read. A very enjoyable book.
