He spent so much item ad…

They will either go down in history or vanish into the mist.

The Shadow Wars (SW) trilogy is written about a Nelwyn named Willow Ufgood (or Thorn Drumheller) and the princess Elora…

An Oxford don, a romanticist and a loyal Catholic, John Ronald Reuel Tolkien fit the perfect mold for creating the greatest epic trilogy of the twentieth century (Jones 11, 22, 25).

Although the Hobbit trilogy was very enjoyable and emotional, it was also a bit disappointing because it wasn’t as good as The Lord of the Rings. Peter Jackson had more…
