Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

J.R.R. Tolkien arguably changed the sort of things we read and write more profoundly than any other twentieth-century writer. When The Lord of the Rings was published, Tolkien was in his early sixties; beneath the outwardly unremarkable life of an Oxford don, his imaginative life was richly nourished by his professional interests. Now in paperback, this is the first biography to deal fully with the wealth of Tolkien's posthumously published material. It sets his writing firmly in the context of his academic life, shows the great personal and professional difficulties he overcame to complete The Lord of the Rings, and charts his ultimately unsuccessful efforts to complete the great cycle of legends that appeared, after his death, as The Silmarillion. Despite the precipitous decline of Tolkien's academic discipline, philology, his imaginative achievement may claim to vindicate his academic career.

Memoirs of the youngest child of a family of ten, borne in Barmston Street, Hull, East Yorkshire, England. These are memoirs which span 1942 to the 1970's. No it is not primarily another book about the Second World War. It starts there but moves through the whole life of my family and I until now I am the last one standing, but I now have a new family, my children, the grand children and great-grandchildren of my family. My journey is back to find the Hull I once knew and cherished dearly as a child and young man. The Hull where I experienced terror, fear, happiness, joy and love, and learned responsibility and to be proud of my background and family history. I wanted to leave a record of my family that brought me through my early life, and pass on to 'my family' the importance of a family. Dr. Raymond Edwards
