The Keys of Middle-earth

Notes
Includes previously unpublished extracts from Tolkien’s academic writings held at the Bodleian Library. These are used, together with episodes from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, as an introduction to works of Old English, Middle English and Old Norse literature.

When offered for sale, the hardback edition is often illustrated using an image of the paperback edition. However, all hardback copies seen lack a dustwrapper, and the ISBN and barcode are added to the lower cover on an adhesive label.
