Tolkien writes about the radio adaption of The Lord of the Rings. He specifically criticizes the portrayal of events around Tom Bombadil and Goldberry.
In portions quoted in Autograph Letters & Historical Documents: Catalogue 1096, 1989, but not found in the Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, he remarks that much of the "ancient history" was already written at the time he came to write the Lord of the Rings.
