Events: Aragorn overtaken by the Dunedain in the early hours. Theoden sets out from the Hornburg for Harrowdale. Aragorn sets out later.
J.R.R. Tolkien was one of the twentieth century's most prolific letter writers. Over the years he wrote a mass of correspondence - to his publishers, to his family, and to fans of his books - which records the history and composition of his works and his reaction to subsequent events.
By turns thoughtful, impish, scholary, impassioned, playful, vigorous, and gentle, Tolkien poured his heart and mind into a great stream of letters to intimate friends and unknown admires all over the world. From this collection one sees a mind of immense complexity and many layers - artistic, religious, charmingly eccentric sentimental and ultimately brilliant.
