The Left Page - Episode 98 - The Hobbit: Hobbitual Fantasy

Hello everyone!! We're finally tackling Tolkien! And so here we are, at the beggining... In a hole in the ground there lived a Hobbit. We go into Tolkien's role in fantasy, how The Hobbit still holds up as both a monument of fantasy and still an excellent book, and the resonance that this work has to fantasy still. Thus we close off 2025 on The Left Page, by beggining Tolkien, with more to come! Enjoy!
