I especially love the Tengwar chart and want to turn the long writing sample upside down to try to read it! This reminds me of teaching Tengwar to my nieces when they were little and writing letters back and forth to them in it. A happy memory!

Tolkien believed that recovery, escape, and consolation were three of the great gifts of fairy-stories. If you'd like to give such joyful qualities as holiday gifts this year, they are the themes of my new book: www.amazon.com/dp/196136118...
