Pour fêter les 2 ANS du #TolkienTrewsday, voici un #ArbrediTolkien pré-ciel bleu consacré aux Nains: un fil sur le nom des compagnons de Thorin dans le #Hobbit. Vous y verrez que #Tolkien n’a pas manqué d’humour pour certains d’entre eux...🧙⤵️

Sad to read that illustrator Michael Hague’s wife Kathleen posted that her husband passed away March 10, 2026. Loved his Hobbit artwork #Tolkien #TheHobbit

For my new book project I've been revisiting my first encounter with #Tolkien art. It came via his own Death of Smaug (c. 1936), as seen on a 1967 Hobbit bought at my school jumble in 1981. No blurb on this cover, just a list of epic Unwin titles such as D.H. Fink Release from Nervous Tension 😁 📚💙

Still got the copy?

Hobbit 50th Anniversary stuff, some of which I bought at the time in my youth, others picked up later. Guessing they will be producing 90th anniversary editions next year and 10 years after that ....... #Tolkien #TheHobbit

The second poster of the March 2026 themes displayed in the Tolkien Trewsday calendar format along with a screenshot of “Thorin’s Hall, Ered Luin” from The Lord of the Rings Online MMORPG. The imposing structure of Thorin’s Hall, decorated with sharp geometric lines and features, stands in front of the Blue Mountains.

Hope you are holding a map up to that

A colored illustration of Rivendell, a valley with lush vegetations and a river running through it. An Elven sanctuary can be seen perching above the river, surrounded by trees.

Inscription photo by Gunawan Kartapranata, taken at the National Museum of Indonesia in Jakarta. Photograph of Talang Tuo inscription, sized 50 cm × 80 centimeters, placed on a concrete pedestal. The inscription is covered by lines of the king's decree, written in ancient Pallava/Pallawa script. The top of the inscription has a small white "D.145" marking, signifying its inventory code at the Museum Nasional Indonesia.

Rivendell as a sanctuary reminds me of the bountiful Śrīksetra Garden, described in the 7th-century Talang Tuo inscription of Sriwijaya kingdom in Sumatra. The king, Sri Jayanasa, established the garden as a sanctuary and for the "well-being of all creatures." 1/4

Welcome to Rivendell!

Stories & Rhymes pamphlets

The Hoard by Tolkien

Back in the late 70s when I was at Primary School, excitement was when a TV was rolled into the class. Sometimes there was BBC Radio for Schools programme. Here are some Stories & Rhymes programme pamphlets with #Tolkien poems.

You should try Minas Morgul. That guy Eärnur went there on his ebike and was never seen again

"[...] 1956-57 when I first encountered The Lord of the Rings. What I remember is that I read with no sense that I was engaging with a written text. [...] It was an all-enveloping experience, [...] - that I might have been dreaming." Verlyn Flieger on first reading LotR
#TolkienTrewsday

A photo of a book titled There Would Always Be a Fairy Tale: More Essays on Tolkien, by Verlyn Flieger. The cover depicts a painting of a large tree with swirling trunks in a thick forest.

The first page of an essay titled Making Choices: Moral Ambiguity in Tolkien's Major Fictions. This part rebuked the criticisms of Edwin Muir and Edmund Wilson's criticisms that said the heroes in The Lord of the Rings did not face serious temptations, considering the book as childish and not serious.

To honor Verlyn Flieger for #TolkienTrewsday, I admire her thorough, nuanced essays that are accessible to everyday readers like me. I love her essay on moral ambiguity in Tolkien's works AND how she straight up went to Edwin Muir's and Edmund Wilson's throats on the first page. Honestly, fair.
