A Question of Time

J.R.R. Tolkien's Toad to Faerie

Beschreibung

Tolkien's concern with time - past and present, real and ""faerie"" - captures the wonder of travel into other worlds and other times. This work shows that he was not just a mythmaker and writer of escapist fantasy but a man whose relationship to his own century was troubled and critical.
