The War of the Ring [Part One]

<p>Christopher Tolkien is back again the third book in his <em>History of Lord of the Rings </em>series, <span style= "text-decoration: underline;">The War of the Ring</span>. Cam read the first half of the book and collected all the most fascinating, illuminating tidbits (like a truffle pig). He and Maggie discuss them in their usual academic, whimsical fashion. Revelations include: Saruman as a failed wizard, the Palantir's secret origins, Daddy Tolkien's time schemes, "corpse lights," dreadful name changes, the torture of the creative process, and Sam Gamgee's superpower.</p> <p>Feedback & Theories: <a href= "mailto:secondbreakfastpod@gmail.com">secondbreakfastpod@gmail.com</a></p> <p>Instagram: @secondbreakfastpod</p> <p>YouTube: <a href= "https://bit.ly/2OT6RP3">https://bit.ly/2OT6RP3</a></p>
