The letters of J.R.R. Tolkien
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co., 1981. Octavo. Item #023145
463pp. Carpenter had selected the best of Tolkien's rich collection of very personal writing, from World War I love letter to his fiancée written from an army camp and a loving note to his daughter Pricilla a few days before his death. Each letter is supported by an explanation. From this collection one sees a kind of immense complexity and his ultimate Brilliance. Bound in black cloth stamped in gilt, spine lettering gilt, previous owner's inscription, in unclipped dust jacket with one small closed edge tear to front panel and minor wear to corners or spine ends. A very good copy.
