Kritik
"Deal with Tolkien's own life experience with otherness and examine how that experience informed reflections of otherness in his writing. ... the book features a prominent dedication to Chance as well as a vintage photo opposite its table of contents. ... deserve a place on the bookshelves of Tolkien scholars and serious fans." (Jason Fisher, Mythlore, Vol. 37 (2), 2019)mehr
