How did Tolkien get away with adding so much detail before the adventure even begins, and what was he thinking including so many spoilers?? We round off our discussion with a quiz and a few reflection questions - but what rank will Miles attain with his quiz performance? And what challenges will this week's reading inspire?Follow us on ⁠instagram,⁠ or reach out to us at [email protected] - we'd love to hear from you!
