Me reading a part from Treebeard's speech in Indonesian The Two Towers, Book 3, c. 4. He acknowledged that they might die, but death would still come if they stayed home. A reminder that communal action and solidarity is a long fight, but worth it.

Happy to all who celebrate! Please enjoy this map of Middle Earth, annotated by the man himself and including several locations not mentioned in the books:
Pictured is an annotated version of a fold-out map which was included in early editions of the Lord of The Rings. The map shows readers Tolkien’s fantasy world ‘Middle-earth’. The annotations are by Tolkien himself, and were for the benefit of Pauline Baynes, an artist who was creating an illustrated poster map of Middle-earth. Baynes ripped the map out of her own 1954 copy of Lord of the Rings and took it to Tolkien, who covered it with notes, including many extra place names that do not appear in the book. Since most were in his own invented Elvish language he helpfully translated some: ‘Eryn Vorn [= Black Forest] a forest region of dark [pine?] trees.’ The annotations give an insight into how vividly Tolkien pictured Middle-earth in his mind, and how thorough his research was. They include a series of geographical pointers about the latitude of key locations: ‘Hobbiton is assumed to be approx. at latitude of Oxford,’. ‘Minas Tirith is about latitude of Ravenna (but is 900 miles east of Hobbiton more near Belgrade). Bottom of the map (1,400 miles) is about latitude of Jerusalem.’ Pictured: MS. Tolkien Drawings 132. copyright Tolkien Estate / Williams College Oxford Programme 2018

A map of Rohan, Gondor and Mordor with Tolkien's handwriting on the plot notes for The Lord of the Rings, Book V (1944). Tolkien made these notes to coordinate the plot with the map, along with the phases of the moon. - The Tolkien Estate Ltd; Bodleian Library
A crude drawing of a map drawn with pencil, with grid boxes on top of it. Above the map is Tolkien's handwritten text that describes the scene where Gandalf and Pippin rode to Minas Tirith.

The image is an invitation for a virtual seminar on Jane Austen and J.R.R. Tolkien. It has a parchment-like background with elegant, decorative elements in the corners. The heading, written in a friendly script font, says, "Hey there!" Below, the text provides details about the event: Date: Saturday, June 28 Format: One-day seminar on Zoom Content: A variety of talks, presentations, and community breakout rooms Hosted by: Bree Crossroads Purpose: Part of the proceeds will go toward a scholarship fund to help others attend Tolkien events In the upper right corner, there is a small image featuring a split composition: on one side, an illustration of an older man (reminiscent of a Tolkien character) in a pastoral setting, and on the other, a woman in Regency attire writing near a window. Text at the bottom credits the artwork to Miriam Ellis. At the bottom of the image, the signature "Roac the Grey" appears in an elegant, handwritten-style font, accompanied by a circular emblem featuring a black raven in flight over a golden background

Reading LOTR for the first time in a long time and I enjoyed this bluntness. Nice that Tolkien draws on fairy folklore in this scene with the nighttime encounter and singing, while the rudeness reverses a trope by having the elves very much *not* wanting to lead the hobbits away.

Some Sunday weirdness for you: Bo Hansson's Music Inspired by The Lord of the Rings featuring a surreal cover. On the top right, is this actually Sauron? And has the scholarly paper on Tolkien and psychedelia been written yet? 😅

Christopher Tolkien's desire to find the right editorial formula goes back to the mid-1970s, when he envisaged the work ahead of him. Lucas Zembrzuski has just published an article showing the role of ‘unfinished tales’. Christopher Tolkien tries out diverses ways of presenting his father's

Bonne question. il y a manifestement chez lui la volonté de trouver la bonne formule éditoriale des le milieu des années 70 quand il envisage le travail qui l' attend. Lucas zembrzuski vient de faire paraître un article qui montre le rôle de 'contes et légendes inachevés' .

Tolkien's funniest confession is surely when he admits in 'On Fairy-Stories' that, as a child, he used to skip over any poetry he encountered in a story. Hmmmm... 😂

Happy 133rd birthday, Professor Tolkien. Here are sketches for art I’m working on for a book about the four elements in The Hobbit, about to be published by Legendaria Ediciones.
Photo showing an open sketchbook page with seven small pencil doodles depicting scenes from The Hobbit such as a teakettle in Bag End, Elrond reading moon runes on Thror’s map in Rivendell, and several landscapes involving the Misty Mountains.

Also, today is my 33rd Tolkien anniversary. On Boxing Day 1991 I had my very first contact with the Professor’s works.

Between 1920 and 1943, Tolkien had a tradition of writing letters as "Father Christmas" to his children, with illustration. This is the opening of his letter from 22 December 1941 for his youngest, then 12-year-old Priscilla. I like the use of subtle language to teach his children about the world.

In the early 1990s Sergei Iukhimov created a number of First Age Tolkien depictions heavily inspired by the decadent fin de siècle aestheticism of Aubrey Beardsley. Sadly the mists of time have rendered many of the reproductions hazy, but here's one that goes hard nonetheless...Túrin's death (1993).

I think I have reached enough followers to start asking questions (a lot of my research is about the reception of works, so I love asking about it)! When did you first read anything by Tolkien (or watch/play/listen to an adaptation if that came first)? Reskeet for more answers!
