Tolkien provides information about the origin and authorship of the riddles included in their work. He clarifies that most of the riddles are their original creations, with the exception of 'Thirty White Horses,' which is traditional, and 'No-legs.' He emphasizes that these riddles, while in the style of old literary riddles, have no specific models they've drawn from.
