#FellowshipofTolkien

I‘m already behind on my own schedule, but this evening I read a few letters with supper. In the 1927 letter, Father Christmas mentions the Polar Bear and the Man in the Moon playing snapdragon, grabbing and eating raisins or almonds from a burning bowl of brandy. The article linked in the comments includes instructions if you‘re looking for a new holiday game.

A quiet Friday night at home is the perfect time for a glass of cranberry wine and a few pages from each of these December reads. I also listened to the next chapter of The Crime at Black Dudley while I made supper.

Happy December! I completely forgot to consider posting in advance, but I will be doing my annual reread of Letters from Father Christmas if anyone wants to join me. The schedule is just a general plan to spread the letters out over the days between now and Christmas. Please share your thoughts as you read!

I‘ll only tag everyone on my #FellowshipOfTolkien list on this first post.

CatLass007 Eeep! I forgot all about this. I‘m not sure if I have room in my December TBR. But definitely keep me on your list. I bought a copy of the book earlier in the year, now I just have to find it. 1w
JazzFeathers I'm late as always, but my book is ready 😁 3d

Today I learned these yew trees may have inspired Tolkien‘s door into Moria. It‘s a perfect Tree A Day and Tolkien crossover.

I‘ve read a few books about Tolkien, Lewis, and the Inklings, and I still thoroughly enjoyed the style and perspective of this book. It‘s not strictly a graphic novel biography as it alternates full pages of text with panels and also includes a few narrative fantasy elements, but it is full of factual information about both writers and their friendship. The art was also great.

Sunday morning #BookAndBreakfast

This is a fascinating look at the relationship between Tolkien and Lewis with pages of text and illustration interspersed with full graphic novel panels featuring a lion and wizard. There‘s a lot about their beliefs and writing styles more than events of their lives.

Today I learned that J.R.R. Tolkien & Edith (his future wife) spent time in tea shops as teens throwing sugar cubes into the hats of unsuspecting ladies.

This is a graphic novel biography of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, and so far I‘m intrigued by how it‘s put together. It‘s also nice to read something a bit lighter about them.
