NRO Between The Covers: The History of The Hobbit interview
The National Review Online‘s Between The Covers program has a fascinating interview with John D. Rateliff who has authored The History of the Hobbit…
“the first time that Tolkien had written a whole book-length work of fiction; his earlier pieces were much shorter than The Hobbit. So it was a sort of ambitious undertaking for him. He got ideas, and then as the story went along, he would reject them. Originally, Bilbo would kill the dragon. . . . ”

For similar goodness, be sure to check out a site I mentioned last Spring… Power Records Plaza is a blog devoted to those 1970s and 1980s record companies that put out comics with sound. Lots of new additions have been posted there since my last visit. Have a visit yourself, you’re sure to find hours of nostalgia and fun.
