Rezension

"The value in this approach, of course, is that these essays are simple; they are incredibly short (each runs about five pages), and they are clear and accessible." ( Journal of the Fantastic in the Arts , 1 February 2015)

"Gregory Bassham and Eric Bronson's anthology of essays, The Hobbit and Philosophy , may have an overblown title, but the authors do a good job of focusing on themes like possessiveness, providence and free will, courage and decision-making." ( The Times Literary Supplement, 21 December 2012)
