The Lord of the Rings: A Reader's Companion by Christina Scull, Wayne G. Hammond

5.0

For me, this is essential reading if you want to know every connection to Tolkien's thought process and how certain quotes, characters, locations and everything else came to be.

I can only imagine the amount of time and effort that Hammond and Scull must have put into this, and it was perfect to have alongside reading The Lord of the Rings.

The style of this book meant for me that it's something I wouldn't read cover to cover, but it very much a reference book, and something I think I'll find myself picking up from time to time.

A great addition to my Middle Earth collection.
