The October 2020 issue of Beyond Bree was just published, and it contains the first ever publication in full colour for PDF, black and white for print of the entire August 8, 1904 puzzle letter from 12-year-old JRR Tolkien to Fr. Francis Morgan, along with a lovely article about it by Denis Bridoux.
Portions of the letter have been seen before, but this is the first time the entirety of it has been published in colour in one place. Thanks of course go to the Tolkien Estate for their permission, and to Catherine McIlwaine for her assistance to Denis.
Well done Denis, and Nancy for this publication. For more information, to subscribe, or to order back issues, contact Nancy Martsch at beyondbree@yahoo.com
[EDIT] correction for all formats being in colour.
