TLS 6 Dec. 1974

The same issue printed an article from Richard Adams’s original publisher that might interest fans of Watership Down (which sounded to me, when I first heard of it, vaguely like something about submarines).

TLS 23-29 Dec 1988

22 Jan 1956

Just for the flavor of the time... from that same 22 Jan 56 issue of the NYTBR.

31 Oct 1965 NYTBR — a nice article. Some of us felt more or less that way about Tolkien's great tale back then.

Query in that same 1965 issue.

Here are the four science fiction magazines that I mentioned a few days ago.

The August 1969 issue of Fantastic has an enjoyable article called “Tolkien and Temperaments.” You may read online the article as published in Void #29, the fanzine from which Fantastic's editor Ted White reprinted the piece -- go to p. 26 at the link below.

15 Jan. 1967 NY Times Magazine was a major source of info about Tolkien for American fans at the time.
