Don does an excellent job giving a clear and organized look at the highlights of Tolkien’s life, story building, and mythos making. I especially enjoyed the “More You Know” fun facts, and that Don did not get bogged down trying to repeat every fact we’ve seen done in other biographical works. Instead you can tell he tried to give us new smaller known facts or new takes on the well known.
This work shows tue quality that is brought when a true fan of something gets to share their passion. This combined with Don’s compassionate insight, and soothing audio has a created an intimate portrait of a man so many hold dear. The audiobook truly felt as if we were sitting down for a companionable chat over tea. I’ll be recommending to all the Tolkien fans in my life.
