## Description

Return Of The Shadow : Tolkien, Christopher: desertcart.in: Books

Review: I like reading these books but I don't think very many others will. And I'm starting to get burned out on them. Previously I got the paperback edition of the first 5 books of this series. In the very first book there is a new story and it's a pretty good one. Some of the old stories are introduced to a traveler in the olden days. It's actually very interesting. But then it gets tedious. What is happening here is that JRR Tolkiens son Christopher went through all his Dads old papers to put these books together to show how JRR went about the process of writing Lord of the Rings. This volume and the next deal with Fellowship of the Ring. The story line you read sticks to the Fellowship line but it's different. This book shows the steps of character development. Ideas coming and going. Editing and rewrites. In short, to some folks this would be intensely boring. But I liked this book and I'm about half way through the next one, The Treason of Isengard. It's the same thing, the Fellowship story. Parts of what you read go from ideas that appeared in the Silmarillion to the end of tale of the Rings. Christopher Tolkien must have loved his father very much because he's put together an analytical series of books that leaves no comment untold, no idea unrevealed.
Review: This book shows the progression in the writing of the Lord of the Rings and includes passages which were deleted from the book. a must for LotR fans.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***M on 12 February 2023*

Turns thought on its head that LOTR was a deliberately conceived storyline from the very start and not an organic brainstorming process always developing into the text we have today. Seen via changes of characters, change of races and the late infusion of the Aragorn King of Gondor character - dropped idea of Trotter (Aragorn) once a wild wandering Ranger hobbit or flawed warrior human Boromir also a hobbit. Originally a travelling party made up of hobbits. changed to allow Boromir's contempt of the lost King of Gondor in favour of his father the Steward. Interesting the Frodo name was not a first choice. Dissecting of the well known storyline is of interest to first time fiction writers.
