'The Lord of the Rings' is not a book to be described in a few sentences.It is a heroic romance,in the words of the novelist Richard Hughes 'something which has scarcely been attempted on this scale since Spenser's 'Faerie Queen',so one can't praise the book by comparisons - there is nothing to compare it with.' By an extraordinary feat of imagination Tolkien has created,and maintains in every detail,a new mythology in an invented world.The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read 'The Hobbit' and 'The Lord of the Rings' and those who are going to read them.Which one are you?
