*New Sealed* Poems And Songs Of Middle Earth - J.R.R. Tolkien (Audio Cassette).




POEMS AND SONGS OF MIDDLE EARTH

Tolkien on this recording reads from The Adventures of Tom

Bombadil, a later work, and The Lord of the Rings. The poems are

lyrical, varied and mostly light-hearted, for as he himself said of the

Hobbits, "they are fond of strange words and of rhyming and metrical

tricks..." There is, too, a poem in Elvish, the mythical, imaginary,

wondrous language which Tolkien created and which has a scholarly

genuineness that, as W.H. Auden wrote "only a philologist and an

exceptional one at that could have invented.

On this recording, too, William Elvin sings a song cycle based

on poems from The Lord of the Rings.

The voice of Tolkien, as in his other readings from his works, gives this

performance a unique authority.
