Abstract

Book Reviews Nevertheless, in their best parts, and there are many, all of these well written, well researched essays not only show us the breadth and depth of Tolkien's thought and reading, but also they remind us many times over of the extraordinary imaginative uses Tolkien made of the sources that influenced his thought. Paul Edmund Thomas Minneapolis, Minnesota Notes 1 I had never before encountered this jocular quip until reading it on page 30 of the collection under review here, which alone makes the book worth the price of admission: Fisher quotes from Daphne Castell, "The Realms of Tolkien," New Worlds Vol. 50, No. 168 (November, 1966) 146. Tolkien means "motif" but prefers the English version of the word to the French. Picturing Tolkien: Essays on Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings Film Trilogy, edited by Janice M.
