More About The Return of the Shadow: The History of The Lord of the Rings, Part One
Anyone interested in the development of the Lord of the Rings The story was good, it was basically the story of "Fellowship of the Ring" with different characters. It was interesting to see the rough drafts of the story unfold into what it eventually became. Overall a pretty good read. Exactly what it purports to be - an account of the development of the story that became The Lord of the Rings (going from the early, tentative attempts to create the desired sequel to The Hobbit to the discovery of Balin's tomb in Moria), with early drafts of chapters and fragmented notes. Is it the most fascinating thing ever published?...
