J.R.R. Tolkien Audio CD Collection (Abridged)by J. R. R. Tolkien
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:For generations, J.R.R. Tolkien's words have brought to thrilling life a world of hobbits, magic, and historic myth, woken from its foggy slumber within our minds. Here, he tells the tales is his own voice.
Of historic note, these selections from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are based on a tape recording Tolkien made in 1952, which inspired him to continue his own quest to see his vision in print. Also included is a never-published poem, "The Mirror of Galadriel," originally intended for inclusion in the trilogy, yet edited out. And, finally, Tolkien's son, Christopher, reads selections from his father's The Silmarillion, the epic foundation upon which rests the whole of his work. Synopsis:Popular for generations, Tolkien's world of hobbits, magic, and historic myth is brought to life through the selected recordings he made of his famous tetralogy. Tolkien brings these tales alive by speaking in authentic Gothic rhythms and enthusiastically reading in an elflike tone.
