For anyone interested in reading Tolkien’s Letters From Father Christmas, here is a reading plan that I use to get through the book in 19 days as a read-aloud for the family during Christmas! luke-shelton.com/2018/12/08/let… #Tolkien

A paper I gave last month is now published on JTR: scholar.valpo.edu/journaloftolki… It walks through how my research with young readers complicates one of the prevailing definitions [Brian Attebery's] of fantasy literature and how to reconcile the two.

The work this woman makes on #Tolkien is just astonishing. You should listen to the story she relates to @LukeBShelton (@TolkienExp) of how she "met" our beloved Professor. Her books are frankly a must for any #Tolkien fan / scholar.

I’m suddenly realising I’ve reached some balance between my books on #Tolkien and my books on #fantasy more generally. Though when it comes to articles/essays, I’ve definitely written most of those on Tolkien (many of the latter are freely available here: dimitrafimi.com)

Thinking about this remarkable statement by #Tolkien about Sam Gamgee in Letter 246 👇 For all of Tolkien’s praise of the hobbits’ simple, rural, “natural” way of life, he doesn’t romanticise the worldview of “a Warwickshire village of about the period of the Diamond Jubilee”.

"Kinship of the Half-elven", #Tolkien's genealogical tree that begins with figures in the First Age, tracing their descent through the House of Hador and the House of Bëor to Elrond, Arwen, and Aragorn. He included it in a 1964 letter for Eileen Elgar. 1/2
