  2. Book Talk: The Hobbit | Scottish Book Trust

    The final Book Talk podcast of 2012 features a timely discussion of J.R.R Tolkien’s worldwide bestselling favourite The Hobbit, coinciding with the release of the first in Peter Jackson’s series of big-budget film adaptations of the novel.

    Paul Gallagher is joined by Edd McCracken of Book Riot, Hollyrood High School librarian Rachel McCabe and two high school pupils, Juliette and Michael, to get into a wide-ranging discussion of the fantasy classic. With each of their Hobbit experiences being different - some having read it many times since childhood, some just reading it for the first time for this podcast - their reactions offer a great cross-section of opinions!

  5. ‘Exploring J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit’: A Reminder To Tolkien Fans Of Their First Love : NPR

    Fans of Middle Earth tend to fall in love with The Hobbit as children, says self-described "Tolkien professor" Corey Olsen. But once they move on to The Lord of the Rings, they never come back. That’s a great shame, he says, so he’s written his own book to honor the classic fantasy novel.

  6. “How to Read Tolkien and Why”

    Reading: "On Fairy-Stories" In this lecture, I discuss Tolkien’s own ideas about how stories should be read and why they are important. I explain some of the errors that people make when they approach Tolkien’s stories, and I lay out some of the terms Tolkien uses when he discusses the nature of story-telling. Understanding these concepts is very helpful as you read Tolkien’s work, and I’ll be referring back to these ideas throughout my lecture series.Tolkien’s essay “On Fairy-Stories” was originally published, along with his story “Leaf by Niggle,” in a little book called Tree and Leaf. That book is out of print, but you can find the essay reprinted in The Monsters and the Critics.Download:.mp3.m4a(better for iPods) To download, right-click the link and select “Save Link As….” (Mac users may need to hold Control and click on the link to access the “Save Link As…” option.)
