This letter was written by a hobbit 100%, he just wants to be alone and mind his own business, all masters regret their masterpieces at times

I started collecting books because of this account. Just picked up a signed heart bible from 1944 at a garage sale!

I think Tolkien was overwhelmed at that moment, if he truly saw it as waste, I don't think his son would have spent so much time putting together the

Any notable exploration accounts in your collection? I'm particularly drawn to polar stuff, but exploration as a whole fascinates me

To me it sounded like he regretted the time it took to write the series!! He was in financial trouble! Maybe he feels he could have written more books
