About this listen
“The analytic study of fairy-stories is as bad a preparation for the enjoying or the writing of them as would be the historical study of the drama of all lands and time for the enjoyment or writing of stage-plays.” – J.R.R. Tolkien, quoted from On Fairy Stories
Wherein John Ronald kinda craps on the whole idea of the podcast. I feel personally attacked. I happen to have enjoyed many of the works I’ve read for this project while also over-analyzing them for the dubious pleasure of my tens of listeners. I also feel it would be uncharitable to point out that we are about to discuss a 40+ page essay Mr. Tolkien himself wrote on exactly this topic, but I digress.
