Description

I am reviving my Substack series on Tolkien's letters, which I am also recording for Tier 2+ patrons at https://www.patreon.com/c/mythicmind.

In this freebie episode, I discuss a 1916 letter to Edith Bratt in which Tolkien mentions his "mad hobby" that would one day lead to the creation of Middle-earth.
