TCG Letter #2043

Francis P. Magoun of Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA writes to Tolkien in praise of The Hobbit. He notes his growing interest in Gothic. Magoun had visited Oxford the year before and reminds Tolkien that he showed him some illustrations. He likens the book to a mix of Kipling and Carrol and hopes that Tolkien will write more on hobbits.

This letter is found at the Bodleian Library archives among their Tolkien Papers.
