En cuanto a las obras; han sido se lo bastante bellas y mágicas, la escencia de Tolkien como es, claramente con tonalidades más frescas e infantiles.
En cuanto el ensayo final, ha sido bueno y bastante claro en la explicación sobre los cuentos de hadas, algo difícil de digerir.
A real mixed bag. Clearly, Tolkien is one of the best writers who ever lived but this is a collection of his very early work, written long before he had mastered his art. Some clear glimpses of genius but not enough to make it noteworthy. The best bit for me was the essay about fairy tales – the last part of the book which, to be honest I almost skipped. This did give a real insight into Tolkien's way of thinking and of approaching his own masterworks, which made me want to delve into them again and re-capture the sense of awe that Tolkien so lovingly wove into them.
Me ha gustado, Las historias son muy simples y entretenidas, aunque no esperes tener la profundidad que tiene en el SDLA, por que esto es algo diferente.
