Report

'An extraordinary book. It deals with a stupendous theme. It leads us through a succession of strange and astonishing episodes, some of them magnificent, in a region where everything is invented, forest, moor, river, wilderness, town and the races which inhabit them.'
The Observer
'Among the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century.'
Sunday Telegraph
'The English-speaking world is divided into those who have read The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and those who are going to read them.'
Sunday Times
'A story magnificently told, with every kind of colour and movement and greatness.'
New Statesman
'Masterpiece? Oh yes, I've no doubt about that.'
Evening Standard
