5.0 out of 5 stars What's in a name?, 1 Jan 2001
By A Customer
In this amazing book, David Day explores Tolkien's creations from an unusual point of view. It takes the reader right at the heart of Tolkien's mind and delves into the core of all his creations. Tolkien was a world-renowned philologist (one who studies words) and Professor of language at the University of Oxford, and this book tries to show (presenting some very interesting proof) that the core of Tolkien's The Hobbit was a word; or rather, thirteen words. Amongst other things, there are very exciting studies on dragons, dwarves, the landscapes, and Gandalf the wizard. This book is presented in short-note style, reminding oneself of scribbling during a class. Added to this is a beautiful hardback, slightly larger than A4 paper, presentation. All artwork and illustrations are by Lidia Postma, a bright Tolkien artist which only endorses our views of hobbits and other creatures as we explore the secrets hidden by the names.
