About This Book
The top names in modern fantasy all acknowledge J. R. R. Tolkien as their role
model, the author whose work inspired them to create their own epics. But what
writers influenced Tolkien himself? Here, internationally recognized Tolkien
expert Douglas A. Anderson has gathered the fiction of authors who sparked
Tolkien’s imagination in a collection destined to become a classic in its own
right.
Andrew Lang’s romantic swashbuckler, "The Story of Sigurd," features magic
rings, an enchanted sword, and a brave hero loved by two beautiful women— and
cursed by a ferocious dragon. Tolkien read E. A. Wyke-Smith’s "The Marvelous
Land of Snergs" to his children, delighting in these charming tales of a
pixieish people "only slightly taller than the average table." Also appearing in
this collection is a never-before-published gem by David Lindsay, author of
Voyage to Arcturus, a novel which Tolkien praised highly both as a thriller and
as a work of philosophy, religion, and morals.
In stories packed with magical journeys, conflicted heroes, and terrible beasts,
this extraordinary volume is one that no fan of fantasy or Tolkien should be
without. These tales just might inspire a new generation of creative writers.
