Media Reviews
Praise for Joseph Pearce's 'Tolkien: Man and Myth' 'This fine apologia will certainly shift to some degree our polarised view of Ronald Tolkien. Pearce writes beautifully and with great depth. Even Germaine Greer, the great Tolkien-basher, might have second thoughts after reading him.' Ronald Blythe
