520    It is well known that J.R.R. Tolkien published The Hobbit 
       in 1937 and The Lord of the Rings in 1954-5. What may be 
       less known is that he continued to write about Middle-
       earth in the decades that followed, right up until the 
       years before his death in 1973.  For him, Middle-earth was
       part of an entire world to be explored, and the writings 
       in The Nature of Middle-earth reveal the journeys that he 
       took as he sought to better understand his unique 
       creation. From sweeping themes as complex and profound as 
       the metaphysics of Elvish immortality and reincarnation, 
       and the Powers of the Valar, to the more earth-bound 
       subjects of the lands and beasts of Númenor, the geography
       of the Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor, and even who had
       beards!  This new collection, which has been edited by 
       Carl F Hostetter, one of the world's leading Tolkien 
       experts, is a veritable treasure-trove offering readers a 
       chance to peer over Professor Tolkien's shoulder at the 
       very moment of discovery: and on every page, Middle-earth 
       is once again brought to extraordinary life
