J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1937 novel The Hobbit has been translated into Romanized Yiddish.

The Haywood Society has been awarded almost £10,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund for a “J.R.R. Tolkien in Staffordshire” touring exhibition starting this March.

The Tolkien Society Seminar 2016 will be held on Sunday 3rd July at the Hilton Leeds City. We are now calling for papers on the theme of Life, Death, and Immortality in Tolkien’s works.

Stephen Oliver, Principal of Our Lady’s Abingdon in Oxfordshire, has uncovered a copy of the school’s annual journal from 1936 which contains two extremely rare poems by J.R.R. Tolkien.

The manuscript containing one of the earliest known references to the word “elf” has been digitised by the British Library and is available to view online.

The Shaping of Middle-earth, the fourth volume in “The History of Middle-earth” series, will be the focus of the next  Mythgard Academy class starting today.
