The Complete Tolkien Companion (2004) - Plot & Excerpts

I'm pretty fond of this book. It is the height of my geekiness. It's an encyclopedia of words, places, families, and histories from the writings of JRR Tolkien. I'm interested in both useless knowledge and world-building, so this was right up my ally. Plus, of course, I really enjoyed reading the Lord of the Rings books when I was a little girl.With this book I traced family lines and saw that Arwyn and Aragorn were direct cousins (ew). I read "lost" poems. I discovered the Hobbit holidays.I didn't go so far as to lean Elvish, though. everyone has to draw a line somewhere.In short, this little tome put me, for a little while, back into a comfortable old book-world from my childhood. It's worth four stars just for that.
