Master of Middle-Earth by Paul H. Kocher

THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO THE ENCHANTED UNIVERSE OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS
So rich and sweeping a work as The Lord of the Rings defies full understanding without knowledge of its background and insight into its author's purposes. In this thoroughly entertaining and perceptive study, Professor Kocher
considers such matters as: Aragorn, the most misunderstood character and the real hero in the trilogy. Sauron and the Nature of Evil. The Cosmology of Middle-earth-just where is it?
The Morality and Social Order that underlie the trilogy.
Plus a fascinating study of Tolkien's minor works and their relationship to his masterwork... and lots more!
"A winner...impels the reader to return and reread Tolkien with new insight."-Library Journal

a perfect gift for your short and hairy cousin
