TCG Letter #2290

Lars Gustafsson writes to Tolkien to request an interview with him. He says that he is not interested in talking about allegory and would prefer to discuss Tolkien's interests which might have influenced the composition of The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien will reply that this is the sort of talk he would welcome. ^{Letter from J.R.R. Tolkien to Lars Gustafsson • 18 May 1961 (#2291)[1]}
